AB 1814: Peace officer training: driving under the influence.
This bill requires peace officers assigned primarily to traffic enforcement to complete a national highway transportation safety administration-approved standard field sobriety testing course of a minimum of 16 hours within one year of their assignment. Additionally, if an officer leaves employment with a law enforcement agency and does not become employed by a law enforcement agency within two years of their departure date, they must complete a commission-certified training course, including a NHTSA refresher course if applicable. The state will reimburse local agencies and school districts for any costs mandated by the state if the commission on state mandates determines that the bill contains such costs.
