AI Summary
This bill amends Tennessee law to establish new certification requirements for private special deputies, who are law enforcement personnel with special appointed status. Starting January 1, 2026, private special deputies will be required to obtain a certificate of compliance from the peace officer standards and training commission by meeting police officer employment qualifications and successfully completing an approved recruit training program. To maintain their certification, these special deputies must also complete an annual in-service training session that is tailored to their specific responsibilities. The bill aims to ensure that private special deputies receive appropriate training and maintain professional standards consistent with other law enforcement personnel. The legislation will take effect immediately upon becoming law, reflecting the state legislature's view that these new training requirements are in the public interest.
