This bill amends RSA 106-L:5 by adding a new paragraph 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 public and private events. The new provision allows these specialists to perform extra duty functions outside of regular business hours, with the stipulation that the council will be reimbursed for their services. While engaged in these duties, the officers will have the authority to enforce all criminal and motor vehicle laws applicable in the state where the services are provided. Additionally, 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 received for the detailed services. The effective date of the act is set for 60 days after its passage. The bill is a request from the police standards and training council and aims to enhance the availability of trained law enforcement personnel for crowd control and related services.
