107 added · 103 removedPlain-language change summary
The recent amendments to Senate Bill No. 2165 clarify and expand the authority of the Peace Officer Standards and Training Board in North Dakota. The board is now explicitly allowed to require physical or psychological examinations for licensed peace officers when public safety is at stake, and it can review medical records related to these examinations. This change is important because it enhances the board's ability to ensure that peace officers remain physically and mentally fit for their duties, ultimately promoting public safety.
