This bill amends RSA 106-L:5 by adding a new paragraph (XX-a) that authorizes the director of the police standards and training council to detail law enforcement training specialists for law enforcement and crowd control services at the request of state, county, or local law enforcement agencies. The detailed specialists can perform these services for public and private events, including extra duty functions outside regular business hours, and will be reimbursed for their services. While performing these duties, the officers will have the authority to enforce all criminal and motor vehicle laws applicable in the jurisdiction where the services are provided. The council is tasked with establishing a detail rate that covers officer compensation, vehicle use, employee benefits, and other related expenses.

The bill is expected to have an indeterminable fiscal impact on state revenue and expenditures, as any costs incurred by the state are anticipated to be offset by reimbursements from the agencies requesting the services. The act will take effect 60 days after its passage.
