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 bill modifies the existing law by deleting the previous number of members and inserting the new total, along with the specific addition of the three community leader positions. This change aims to enhance the representation and input from local communities in the council's decision-making processes regarding law enforcement standards and training.
