CT HB06775

Establishes reimbursement requirements when a police officer hired by one law enforcement unit is subsequently hired by another law enforcement unit within four years of obtaining certification, effective October 1, 2015.

Sets reimbursement amounts on a sliding scale based on time elapsed since certification: full cost if hired within one year, two-thirds if hired between one and two years, one-half if hired between two and three years, and one-quarter if hired between three and four years.

Defines "cost of certification" to include training, equipment, uniforms, salary, fringe benefits, and entry-level requirements established by the Police Officer Standards and Training Council, excluding returned equipment or uniforms.

Preserves existing agreements between police officers, collective bargaining units, and law enforcement units entered into before October 1, 2015, regarding certification cost reimbursement.
