OFA Fiscal Note
State Impact: None
Municipal Impact: None
Explanation
The bill (1) expands the Police Officer Standards and Training
Council (POST) by two members, (2) requires the Department of
Emergency Services and Public Protection (DESPP) and POST to
develop guidelines regarding body-worn recording equipment, and (3)
requires DESPP and POST to send a report to the Public Safety and
Security Committee, resulting in no fiscal impact to the state as the
council members of POST are not compensated and DESPP has the
expertise to meet the requirements of the bill.
