Bill Summary
An Act relating to peace officers; amending 70 O.S. 2021, Section 3311, as last amended by Section 1, Chapter 65, O.S.L. 2024 (70 O.S. Supp. 2025, Section 3311), which relates to the Council on Law Enforcement Education and Training; authorizing alternative path to certain certification; updating statutory language; and providing an effective date.
AI Summary
This bill amends existing Oklahoma law concerning the Council on Law Enforcement Education and Training (CLEET) to create an alternative path for certain individuals to become certified as full-time peace or police officers. Specifically, it allows a reserve peace officer who has completed the required 240-hour reserve program and is hired as a full-time officer within two years of their reserve certification to become a full-time certified officer by completing only the full law enforcement driver training program, rather than the full 600-hour basic police academy. This change aims to streamline the process for experienced reserve officers transitioning to full-time roles. The bill also includes an effective date of November 1, 2026.
