| This legislation seeks to allow local legislative delegations to bypass county commissioners by general legislation. This bill is a general bill that will allow a local legislative delegation to pass local legislation calling for a local referendum to abolish a county police department. Under current law the county must pass a resolution to create a county police department and have a referendum prior to that creation. The decision to abolish a county police department is at the sole discretion of the County Commission. This bill is the house version of SB 317, the only difference is the house bill has a sunset date of January 1, 2022. Please click here for talking and legal points. |
