Plain-language change summary

The amendment adds a requirement that the deputy commissioner of the Division of Emergency Management and Homeland Security cannot be a sworn member of a law enforcement unit. It also changes the wording from "may" to "shall" to clarify the requirement regarding the deputy commissioner's status. This means that only individuals who are not active law enforcement officers will be eligible for this position, which could influence the qualifications and background of future appointments.
