Law Enforcement - As introduced, entitles qualified law enforcement officers upon retirement or separation from service from their employing law enforcement agency to continue to maintain annual POST-certification upon meeting certain requirements. - Amends TCA Title 38, Chapter 8.

HB 1485 allows retired or separated Tennessee law enforcement officers to maintain annual POST certification after leaving their agency, provided they meet specific requirements. To qualify, officers must complete approved training, provide agency verification of good standing, prove Tennessee residency annually, and pay associated fees. The law explicitly prohibits pay supplements for this certification and requires retirees to notify the commission immediately if they move out of state. This directly affects former officers seeking to retain certification for potential future employment or other purposes, without altering existing certification standards for active officers.
