The bill would apply to department employees who perform communications and dispatch services to commissioned law enforcement officers while those officers are performing law enforcement duties. The bill would take immediate effect if the bill receives two-thirds the vote of members in both houses. Otherwise, the bill would take effect September 1, 2011.
