The bill amends Section 12-7-21 of the General Laws in Chapter 12-7, which pertains to the definition of "peace officer." The amendment expands the definition to include juvenile program workers and shift coordinators from the Department of Children, Youth, and Families, thereby recognizing them as peace officers while they perform their duties. Additionally, the bill removes Rhode Island School of Design police officers from the list of peace officers. This act will take effect upon passage.
