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 adding three community leaders from the parishes of Caddo, East Baton Rouge, and Orleans, who will be appointed by the governor.

This legislative change aims to enhance the representation and input of local communities in the council's decision-making processes. By including these additional members, the bill seeks to ensure that the perspectives of diverse community leaders are considered in the establishment of peace officer standards and training.
