The bill amends Section 45-48-230.20 of the Code of Alabama 1975, specifically focusing on the training and continuing education requirements for law enforcement officers within the Marshall County Sheriff's Office. The language changes specify that all employees previously referred to as "employees" are now designated as "law enforcement officers" who must be certified by the Alabama Peace Officers' Standards and Training Commission. This certification mandates that these officers complete training and continuing education as outlined by the sheriff, adhering to minimum standards set by the Commission.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that the costs associated with this training and continuing education will be funded by the county commission. The act is set to take effect on October 1, 2024.
