Bill > SB266

This bill amends Kentucky law to provide more flexibility for Kentucky State Police officers regarding off-duty employment. Specifically, the bill allows the commissioner of the Department of Kentucky State Police to authorize officers to engage in law enforcement-related off-duty employment and requires the commissioner to establish clear policies and procedures for such employment. The bill also mandates that the commissioner create guidelines for the use of uniforms, equipment, and facilities during off-duty work. Additionally, the legislation permits Kentucky State Police officers to use motor vehicles with regular license plates while performing off-duty law enforcement-related tasks. These changes aim to provide more structured opportunities for state police officers to work additional jobs while maintaining professional standards and ensuring that departmental resources are used appropriately. The bill modifies existing statutes in KRS 16.060, 16.070, and 44.045 to implement these provisions, giving the police commissioner more discretion in managing off-duty employment for department personnel.
