A BILL FOR AN ACT
RELATING TO SPECIAL DUTY FOR DEPUTY SHERIFFS.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:
SECTION 1. The legislature finds that deputy sheriffs routinely serve the community by providing off-duty law enforcement service, commonly known as "special duty", for monetary compensation to persons, organizations, and government entities other than the state department of public safety. Therefore, the legislature finds it is appropriate to include statutory authorization for special duty performed by deputy sheriffs.
The purpose of this Act is to require the department of public safety to develop policy and procedures to govern the processing of requests from deputy sheriffs performing special duty and to establish a compensation schedule for deputy sheriffs performing special duty.
SECTION 2. Chapter 353C, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by adding a new section to be appropriately designated and to read as follows:
"§353C- Special duty; deputy sheriffs. (a) The department shall develop policy and procedures to govern the processing of requests for special duty, and establish the compensation schedule for law enforcement services provided by deputy sheriffs performing special duty.
(b) For purposes of this section, "special duty" means the performance of a service for a person, organization, or governmental entity other than the department, by a deputy sheriff of the sheriff division acting in a law enforcement capacity, in return for which the deputy sheriff receives a direct or indirect payment or compensation of some kind."
SECTION 3. New statutory material is underscored.
SECTION 4. This Act shall take effect on July 1, 2099.
