Bill > SB1362

This bill amends the State Officials and Employees Ethics Act to require each member of the General Assembly (state legislators) to participate in a comprehensive law enforcement educational program once per legislative term. The program must include at least two key components: a ride-along experience, where legislators spend time with law enforcement officers during their patrol duties, and a simulation training program that allows legislators to experience law enforcement scenarios firsthand. These educational experiences will be organized by a law enforcement body representing the legislator's specific legislative or representative district. The goal appears to be providing lawmakers with direct, practical insight into the challenges and experiences of law enforcement officers, potentially to inform future policy decisions and foster better understanding between legislators and local law enforcement agencies.
