AI Summary

This bill authorizes the appointment of retired police officers as school resource officers. It allows a chief of police to appoint a retired police officer who has previously served in a municipal police department or the state police, is retired based on superannuation (retirement due to age or length of service), and meets the same maximum age restrictions as regular police officers. The retired officer must pass a medical examination and will not be subject to certain employment laws, but will have the same arrest powers and duties as a regular police officer. The retired officer will be subject to the rules and requirements set by the appointing chief of police, with the costs borne by the retired officer.
