Mack HB No. 155
Abstract: Provides for certain law enforcement officers to receive credit for years of
service for purposes of receiving supplemental compensation.
Present law requires every commissioned law enforcement officer employed on a full-time
basis by a police agency of the state or its political subdivisions, other than DPS&C and the
Dept. of Wildlife and Fisheries, who provides police services to the general public to receive
supplemental compensation in the amount of $500 per month to be paid by the state if the
officer completed one year of service, was hired after March 31, 1986, and completed and
passed a council-certified training program.
Proposed law retains present law and further requires any P.O.S.T.-certified law enforcement
officer employed on a full-time basis by DPS&C, Dept. of Wildlife and Fisheries, division
of probation and parole, or any retired state police officer who receives supplemental
compensation under provisions of present law, to receive credit for their employment if they
become employed with any other law enforcement agency for purpose of satisfying the one
year of service requirement to receive supplemental compensation.
