Senate Bill
SB 95
Law enforcement training cost reimbursement.
In plain English
Allows a public employer to be repaid for the costs of employing and training a law enforcement officer by another public employer that later hires that officer. The repayment amount shrinks over time and ends three years after the officer is certified. Also lets a public employer require new hires to agree to repay these costs if they later join an employer that is not a public employer under state law.

Official digest
Allows the state, a state agency, or a political subdivision (public employer) to be reimbursed for the costs of employing and training a law enforcement officer by a public employer that subsequently employs the officer. Provides that the reimbursement amount decreases over time and is eliminated three years after the officer is certified by the law enforcement training board to act as an officer. Allows a public employer to require, as a condition of hiring, that the individual enter into a contract or agreement to reimburse the public employer for employment and training costs, if the individual is subsequently hired by a private or governmental employer that is not defined by statute as a public employer.
