Relating to: citizenship as a requirement to be employed as a law enforcement officer or tribal law enforcement officer.

SB 846 would require all law enforcement officers and tribal law enforcement officers in the state to be U.S. citizens. The bill amends statutes to state that no person may be employed in these roles without U.S. citizenship. This policy change directly affects current and future hires for all municipal, county, and tribal law enforcement positions. The legislation creates a new statutory requirement for citizenship as a condition of employment, with no exceptions specified in the bill text. The bill is currently under review in the Committee on Licensing, Regulatory Reform, State and Federal Affairs.
