Bill > HF3541

This bill clarifies the responsibilities of the Division of Capitol Security, which is responsible for security and public information services in state-owned and leased-to-own buildings within the Capitol Area, ensuring the orderly conduct of state business and public convenience. It also mandates that the division provide emergency assistance and security escorts within the Capitol Area upon request from a state constitutional officer until July 1, 2026. A key addition is the requirement for the director to establish an emergency manager position to oversee security operations, tenant training on threats and emergencies, and emergency exercises. Furthermore, any state troopers assigned to the Capitol complex must have current training or recent experience in criminal investigations, including identifying witnesses and writing reports. The bill also designates the Division of Capitol Security as the lead agency for investigating criminal offenses within the Capitol Area, with the possibility of transferring this responsibility to another law enforcement agency if both agencies agree in writing.
