PEACE OFFICER STANDARDS AND TRAINING COUNCIL -- Amends existing law to provide for the rejection of certain applicants due to certain criminal histories.
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
▶ Show statement of purpose▼ Hide statement of purpose
This legislation will allow the Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) Council the ability to certify individuals previously convicted of certain felonies. Currently anyone ever convicted of any felony shall not be certified by POST. This legislation will allow the POST Council to review and make decisions on certification on individuals not convicted of felonies listed in Idaho Code § 18-310 (2). This will change it from “shall not be certified” to “may not be certified” for other felonies.
FISCAL NOTE
▶ Show fiscal note▼ Hide fiscal note
There is no fiscal impact. POST Council already meets regularly and hears waiver requests for other matters. This change is not expected to add any additional meetings of the POST Council.
