Official summary

Abstract published by the legislature (via Open States). Text as published by the legislature; reproduced verbatim.

Current law grants peace officer status to an auto industry investigator and the director of the auto industry division within the department of revenue (department). Current law limits the scope of peace officer authority for these 2 positions to certain investigative and enforcement functions. The act expands the peace officer authority for the auto industry investigator and auto industry division director positions to include enforcement of all the laws of the state and requires the investigators and director to be peace officers standards and training board (P.O.S.T. board) certified. The act extends peace officer status, along with the expanded authority and P.O.S.T. board certification requirement, to agents in charge, criminal investigator supervisors, and criminal investigators within the auto industry division. House Bill 24-1353, concerning requirements to engage in the business of dealing in firearms, created a new firearms dealer division (division) within the department. The act designates the division director and deputy directors as peace officers who may be P.O.S.T.-board-certified. The act makes agents in charge, criminal investigator supervisors, and criminal investigators in the division peace officers who must be P.O.S.T.-board-certified. (Note: This summary applies to this bill as enacted.)
