Grants peace officer status to uniformed court officers in the town of Montgomery
This bill grants peace officer status to uniformed court officers working at the town court in Montgomery. By amending the state's criminal procedure law, the legislation officially recognizes these employees as peace officers, which typically expands their legal authority and duties compared to non-sworn staff. The measure includes a specific provision stating that these officers may only carry firearms if they have obtained the required license under existing penal laws. This change affects only the specific employees of the Montgomery town court and does not alter the status of court officers in other locations.
