Requires law enforcement officers to complete annual autism sensitivity training

HB 2804 requires all peace officers in the state to complete one hour of annual autism sensitivity training as part of their existing continuing education requirements. The training must cover identifying signs of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and effective communication strategies for interacting with individuals who have ASD. This annual training, which can be completed virtually, is integrated into current law enforcement education mandates and does not add extra hours beyond existing requirements. The bill directly affects all active law enforcement officers employed by county or municipal agencies. It focuses on practical skills to improve officer interactions with people on the autism spectrum during routine encounters.
