Bill > HB778

This bill introduces two key provisions: first, it authorizes the director of the Police Standards and Training Council (PSTC) to detail law enforcement training specialists to state, county, or local law enforcement agencies for law enforcement and crowd control services during public and private events or extra duty functions outside regular business hours. When detailed, these specialists can enforce criminal and motor vehicle laws, and the council will establish a detail rate that covers officer compensation, vehicle use, employee benefits, and other incurred expenses. Second, the bill eliminates mental incapacitation as a qualifying condition for disability retirement benefits for certain group II members of the New Hampshire Retirement System, meaning that now only physical incapacitation that is likely to be permanent can qualify an individual for such benefits. The bill will take effect 60 days after its passage, and while it is not expected to create significant state expenditures, any potential costs are anticipated to be offset by reimbursements from agencies requesting the law enforcement training specialists.
