Vermont Criminal Justice Council.

| Legal Authority: |
20 V.S.A. ยง 2355 |
| Summary:
| The Vermont Criminal Justice Council (VCJC) Rules require multiple revisions due to statutory changes to 20 VSA 2352 and 2355 in 2018, 2020 and 2023. These statutory amendments changed the composition of the Council and the Council's powers and duties. The proposed Rule changes align the Council's Rules and regulations with our current governing statutory language in Title 20, Chap. 151. In addition, there are proposed amendments to the Rule sections for Instructor and Basic Training. These changes are proposed to allow the Council to be adaptable and responsive to training changes as the Council moves into a three-year curriculum review for law enforcement training. |
| Persons Affected:
| Dept of Public Safety, Vt League of Cities and Towns, Dept. of State's Attorneys and Sheriffs, Municipal Law Enforcement Agencies, Dept of Liquor Control, DMV, OPR, Attorney General's Office, VT Homeland Security Unit, Board of Medical Practice (Investigators with law enforcement certification) and County Special Investigation Units. |
| Economic Impact:
| It is anticipated that the proposed rule changes will not have an econcomic impact on the VCJC's budget and a minimal economic impact on the public; specifically, law enforcement agencies. The majority of the rule changes are procedural changes that ensure that our rules are consistent with our governing statute. The rule changes regarding training are procedural changes as to how and when the Council decides annual training requirements. The only economic impact that the VCJC anticipates is that VCJC Instructors will be required to attend additional trainings to become certified instructors and to remain certified instructors. However, the additional training requirements will likely fall within an officer's annually mandated training and therefore have a de minimus economic impact on the officer's and/or their department's budget. |
