ATTENDING THE MANDATORY TRAINING PROGRAM
REQUIRED PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF CHAPTER 6,
TITLE 23.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:
Training of law enforcement officers
SECTION 1. The 1976 Code is amended by adding:
"Section 23-6-405. (A) For purposes of this section,
'governmental entity' means the State or any of its political subdivisions.
(B) After July 1, 1997, every governmental entity of this State
intending to employ on a permanent basis a law enforcement officer who
has satisfactorily completed the mandatory training as required under this
article must comply with the provisions of this section.
(C) If the law enforcement officer has satisfactorily completed his
mandatory training while employed by a governmental entity of this State,
and within two years from the date of satisfactory completion of the
mandatory training, a subsequent hiring governmental entity shall
reimburse the governmental entity with whom the law enforcement officer
was employed at the time of attending the mandatory training:
(1) one hundred percent of the cost of training the officer, which
shall include the officer's salary paid during the training period and other
training expenses incurred while the officer was attending the mandatory
training, if the officer is hired within one year of the date of satisfactory
completion of the mandatory training; or
(2) fifty percent of the cost of training the officer, which shall
include the officer's salary paid during the training period and other
training expenses incurred while the officer was attending the mandatory
training, if the officer is hired after one year but before the end of the
second year after the date of satisfactory completion of the mandatory training.
(D) If the law enforcement officer is employed by more than one
successive governmental entity within the two-year period after the date
of satisfactory completion of the mandatory training, a governmental
entity which reimbursed the governmental entity that employed the officer
during the training period may obtain reimbursement from the successive
governmental entity employer for:
(1) one hundred percent of the cost of training the officer, which
shall include the officer's salary paid during the training period and other
training expenses incurred while the officer was attending the mandatory
training, if the officer is hired within one year of the date of satisfactory
completion of the mandatory training; or
(2) fifty percent of the cost of training the officer, which shall
include the officer's salary paid during the training period and other
training expenses incurred while the officer was attending the mandatory
training, if the officer is hired after one year but before the end of the
second year after the date of satisfactory completion of the mandatory
training.
(E) Under no circumstances shall the governmental entity that
employed the officer during the training period or a governmental entity
seeking reimbursement from a successive governmental entity employer
be reimbursed for more than one hundred percent of the cost of the
officer's salary paid during the training period and other training expenses
incurred while the officer was attending the mandatory training."
