Bill > SB1231

This bill amends Arizona law regarding constable training by adding a new provision that allows elected or appointed constables to request training from the constable ethics standards and training board. If the board approves the training request, it will be funded using board monies and delivered by a qualified constable who has already completed the mandatory basic training course. This selected trainer can provide training in any county in Arizona. The bill builds upon existing statutes that outline constables' duties, which include serving court processes, executing warrants, and performing official duties with peace officer authority limited to their specific official responsibilities. The new section (H) provides an additional training resource for constables, potentially enhancing their professional development and standardizing training across the state. The bill maintains previous restrictions on constables, such as prohibiting them from operating private process serving businesses, while offering a structured approach to supplemental training opportunities.
