Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred S.B. No. 45 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO PUBLIC SAFETY,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this bill is to provide a more effective administrative and operational management of the Sheriff Division by repealing the civil service exemptions for the first and second deputy sheriffs.  This bill is also in line with legislation aimed at reducing the number of civil service exempt employees in public service within the State.

 

     The Department of Public Safety and several concerned individuals supported this measure.

 

     Your Committee has amended this bill by:

 

     (1)  Changing its effective date to July 1, 2030, to promote further discussion; and

    

     (2)  Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for clarity, consistency, and style.

 


     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Finance that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 45, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 45, H.D. 1.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Finance,
