    Dear Friends:

    This week your FOP testified in support of HB1006 and HB1321. HB1006 specifies the circumstances under which a person may be involuntarily committed to a facility for mental health services and specifies that these services are medically necessary. It also establishes a local mental health referral program to provide mental health treatment for certain persons who have been arrested. HB1006 passed through committee.

    HB1321 requires the law enforcement training board to establish minimum standards for basic training and annual inservice training that address the mental health and wellness of law enforcement officers. This bill also passed through committee.

    Next week your FOP will testify in support of HB1396, known as the Stop the Bleed Program. HB1396 establishes the stop the bleed donation pool for the purpose of receiving donations of gifts or donations. It also provides that a public safety agency may request bleeding control kits or donations made to the pool.

    Attached please find Legislative Report #9. All dead bills have been excluded. 

    Please feel free to contact President Owensby, Leo Blackwell, or myself for additional information.

    Stay safe,

    Ed
