In plain language

The bill updates police training requirements and changes membership on the P.O.S.T. board.

The act mandates a proposal for improving law enforcement training by 2030 and alters the composition of the P.O.S.T. board. It also sets age and certification requirements for police officers and instructors.

What this means for you
  • Workers: If you are a peace officer, this may affect your training and the requirements you must meet to stay certified.
  • Families: This could lead to improved law enforcement practices that affect community safety and interactions with police.

Summary

The act requires the attorney general to submit to the peace officers standards and training board (P.O.S.T. board) a proposal by December 31, 2030, to update current basic, reserve, and refresher law enforcement training academy programs and improve the peace officer performance of future academy graduates.     The act changes the makeup of the P.O.S.T. board by reducing the number of law enforcement head officials, reducing the number of non-law-enforcement persons, increasing the number of line officers, and adding representatives from law enforcement training academies and reserve officers. A person who has had their P.O.S.T. certification revoked is not eligible to serve on the P.O.S.T. board.     The P.O.S.T. board is prohibited from approving skill instructors whose P.O.S.T. certification has been revoked for training academies and from approving training academies with an instructor whose P.O.S.T. certification has been revoked after September 1, 2026.     The act requires that a person be at least 21 years old in order to be a certified peace officer.     The act makes a peace officer academy full-time instructor eligible to attend P.O.S.T. certification classes funded with grant money, but the instructor is not eligible to receive individual grant funding from the P.O.S.T. board.(Note: This summary applies to this bill as enacted.)

Frequently asked questions

What does HB 1312 do?
The act requires the attorney general to submit to the peace officers standards and training board (P.O.S.T. board) a proposal by December 31, 2030, to update current basic, reserve, and refresher law enforcement training academy programs and improve the peace officer performance of future academy graduates.     The act changes the makeup of the P.O.S.T. board by reducing the number of law enforcement head officials, reducing the number of non-law-enforcement persons, increasing the number of line officers, and adding representatives from law enforcement training academies and reserve officers. A person who has had their P.O.S.T. certification revoked is not eligible to serve on the P.O.S.T. board.     The P.O.S.T. board is prohibited from approving skill instructors whose P.O.S.T. certification has been revoked for training academies and from approving training academies with an instructor whose P.O.S.T. certification has been revoked after September 1, 2026.     The act requires that a person be at least 21 years old in order to be a certified peace officer.     The act makes a peace officer academy full-time instructor eligible to attend P.O.S.T. certification classes funded with grant money, but the instructor is not eligible to receive individual grant funding from the P.O.S.T. board.(Note: This summary applies to this bill as enacted.)
