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 typically handle matters like hiring, discipline, and employment protections for covered officers. The change would give these court security officers similar employment protections and oversight as other deputy sheriffs. Who it may affect: certified court security officers employed by sheriffs and the county sheriff offices that employ them.
