HB 1174 (2020)

Requires screening for all law enforcement officers for substance use disorders prior to assuming their duties as certified officers. The bill also allows the Police Standards and Training Council to reimburse local governments for the costs of testing for psychological and substance use disorders. The House amended the bill to instead establish a fund for psychological stability screening for candidates for certification as law enforcement officers, using money from the drug forfeiture fund. The Senate added this bill to HB 1645.
