House Bill No. by Representative Walters amends the composition of the Council on Peace Officer Standards and Training under the Louisiana Commission on Law Enforcement and Administration of Criminal Justice. The bill increases the number of members from eleven to fourteen, specifically by adding three community leaders from the parishes of Caddo, East Baton Rouge, and Orleans, who will be appointed by the governor.

The proposed changes aim to enhance the representation within the council by including community leaders, thereby potentially improving the council's ability to address local law enforcement issues. This amendment reflects a shift towards greater community involvement in law enforcement standards and training.
