This bill amends Section 80.36 of the Code 2026, specifically addressing the maximum age limit for employment as a peace officer in the department of public safety. The current law prohibits individuals from being employed as peace officers after reaching the age of sixty-five.
Under the new provisions, the maximum age limit is increased to sixty-seven years. This change aims to allow individuals up to 67 years of age to serve as peace officers, thereby potentially expanding the pool of candidates for these positions within the department.
