The bill introduced by Representative Williams allows for a temporary waiver of the refresher training requirement for re-appointed peace officers in Ohio. Specifically, for a one-year period starting from the effective date of the bill, the Executive Director of the Ohio Peace Officer Training Commission can grant a waiver upon request from an appointing authority. This waiver pertains to the requirement outlined in division (M)(2) of section 109.77 of the Revised Code, which mandates that re-appointed peace officers complete refresher training before resuming their duties. The Executive Director is required to respond to waiver requests within thirty days.

Additionally, the bill is classified as an emergency measure, emphasizing the urgent need for its immediate implementation due to the unavailability of the required refresher training courses. This declaration underscores the bill's intent to ensure the continued functioning of peace officers without unnecessary delays in training availability.
