Bill > HB1312

This bill mandates that by December 31, 2030, the Attorney General must propose updates to law enforcement training programs, including basic, reserve, and refresher courses, to improve the performance of future peace officers, with the P.O.S.T. (Peace Officers Standards & Training) board having the authority to accept or reject these proposals, requiring new proposals within a year if rejected. The bill also restructures the P.O.S.T. board by increasing the number of line officers, adding representatives from law enforcement training academies and reserve officers, while reducing the number of law enforcement head officials and non-law-enforcement members, and establishes a minimum age of 21 for certified peace officers, while making full-time academy instructors eligible for training or grants from state or local entities, but not directly from the P.O.S.T. board.
