This bill changes Kentucky's certification rules for peace officers who previously worked in law enforcement in another state. Under the new law, these out-of-state officers who meet certain criteria would not be required to pass a physical agility test to become certified in Kentucky. It makes it easier for experienced officers from other states to join Kentucky law enforcement agencies. Who it may affect: experienced law enforcement officers relocating to Kentucky from other states, and the agencies looking to hire them.
