HB 453 -- Corrections Officer and Jailer Training

Sponsor:  Roorda

This bill creates the Corrections Officer Training Fund to be
administered by the Corrections Officer Certification Commission
for the training of corrections officers and jailers.  A $5
surcharge will be assessed and deposited into the fund for each
court proceeding filed in any circuit court in this state, any
municipal court which employs a jailer, and in all criminal cases
in which the defendant is placed on probation except when any
court costs are to be paid by the state, county, or municipality.
Moneys in the fund will not at any time be transferred to the
General Revenue Fund.

Beginning January 1, 2010, all corrections officers and jailers
are required to receive a minimum of 36 hours of training every
three years.  At least half of those hours must be police academy
training which meets Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST)
requirements.  Specific training standards will be determined by
the commission.
