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. Additionally, the bill makes a minor adjustment by replacing "and" with "and" before the inclusion of Rhode Island School of Design police officers, ensuring clarity in the list of individuals classified as peace officers. This act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
