This bill establishes that State police officers assigned to detachment from service positions or confidential positions will not be excluded from promotion or penalized for their assignments. It defines "detachment from service position" as a temporary separation from an officer's assigned unit for specific duties, while "confidential position" refers to roles requiring access to sensitive information, including protective services for members of the Legislative, Executive, and Judicial branches.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that any time accrued by officers in these positions will count towards their promotional eligibility. This change aims to ensure that officers are not disadvantaged in their career advancement due to their temporary assignments, thereby promoting fairness and recognition of their service in specialized roles. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
