Plain-language change summary

The latest version of HB 184 includes new provisions that require law enforcement officers assigned as school resource officers to undergo specific training tailored for their role in schools. Additionally, it allows school district police departments with full-time school resource officers to receive funding from the Law Enforcement Protection Fund. These changes are significant as they aim to enhance the safety and effectiveness of law enforcement in schools by ensuring that officers are properly trained for the unique challenges they face in that environment.
