TWENTY-NINTH LEGISLATURE, 2018

 

STATE OF HAWAII

 

 

 

 

 

 

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" services, 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 employment by deputy sheriffs.

     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 employment: deputy sheriffs.  (a)   Deputy sheriffs may engage in special duty employment.  "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 while off-duty from the department, in return for which the deputy sheriff receives a direct or indirect payment or compensation of some kind.

     (b)  The department shall maintain, and revise when necessary, 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 work."

     SECTION 3.  New statutory material is underscored.

     SECTION 4.  This Act shall take effect upon its approval.
