Bill Summary
For legislation to mandate flotation devices in police vehicles. Public Safety and Homeland Security.
AI Summary
This bill mandates that local and state police officers must have a flotation device in their on-duty vehicles, with the device needing to be large enough and suitable for water rescue operations. Additionally, the bill requires that these police officers receive water rescue training, which would include instruction on how to safely and properly use the flotation devices during potential rescue situations. The municipal police training committee is granted the authority to create regulations to implement this new requirement. The legislation appears to be aimed at improving public safety by ensuring that law enforcement officers are better prepared to conduct water rescues and have the necessary equipment readily available in their vehicles.
