AN ACT Relating to state oversight and accountability of the 2 criminal justice training commission; amending RCW 43.101.080 and 3 43.101.380; and adding a new section to chapter 43.101 RCW. 4

AI Summary

This bill enhances state oversight and accountability of the Criminal Justice Training Commission by requiring law enforcement agencies to submit biennial reports detailing officer certifications, training records, and decertifications, which the commission will then summarize and report to the governor and legislature. It also modifies the composition of hearings panels that review certification actions for peace officers, corrections officers, and tribal police officers, increasing the number of experienced officers on these panels and allowing administrative law judges to cast a vote if a panel cannot reach a majority decision, thereby strengthening the commission's ability to ensure adherence to law and agency policy and maintain public trust.
