AN ACT relating to certified court security officers.

This bill would bring certified court security officers who work for sheriffs under the oversight of deputy sheriff merit boards. Merit boards handle matters like hiring, discipline, and employment protections for covered officers. This change would give court security officers in that role a more formal employment structure with established rules and review processes. Who it may affect: certified court security officers employed by sheriffs, and county sheriff's offices across Kentucky.
