A new Kentucky bill was recently signed into law that will allow law enforcement officers the ability to be out of employment for a full year before returning to the profession.
Governor Andy Beshear signed House Bill 64 into law on Tuesday, which extends the time an officer can take off before having to redo their POPS Certification to re-enter a department.
The current limit is 100 days. The bill hopes to make it easier for retired officers to re-enter the workforce and help local schools and police forces.
HB 64 was sponsored by Representative Wade Williams and he said this law will strengthen the workforce for Kentucky Police Departments.
