Plain-language change summary

The recent changes to House Bill 987 establish the North Carolina Police Leadership Fellows Committee, specifying its membership and operational guidelines. Notably, it now includes two correctional officers as members and outlines the structure for appointing the chair. This matters because it ensures diverse representation in discussions about police leadership, and sets clear rules for how the committee will operate, potentially leading to more effective leadership training programs for law enforcement across the state.
