The bill amends Sections 16-47-11 and 36-21-49 of the Code of Alabama 1975, enhancing the authority of police officers within The University of Alabama System and facilitating cooperation among law enforcement agencies. Key insertions include clarifying that peace officers' authority extends to property owned, leased, or licensed by their employing institution, and they may enforce the law under specific circumstances, such as in pursuit of a suspected offender or through agreements with other law enforcement agencies. Additionally, the bill updates the language to reflect current legal style and terminology, replacing terms like "police" with "peace" officers and "persons" with "individual."

The bill also allows state, county, municipal, and state college or university law enforcement agencies to enter into agreements for mutual assistance in law enforcement work, thereby promoting collaboration among various agencies. The act is set to take effect on June 1, 2024.
