HB 2507

Abstract

Amends the Private College Campus Police Act. With respect to the members of a campus police department having the powers of municipal peace officers and county sheriffs, provides that the powers are for the protection of students, employees, visitors and their property, and the property, branches, and interests of the college or university in the county where the college or university is located (instead of requiring that these powers be exercised only on college or university property); makes related changes. Also gives members of the campus police department the ability to regulate and control traffic on the public way contiguous to the college or university property. Provides that the uniforms, vehicles, and badges of the campus police department officers shall be distinctive from those of the local law enforcement agency where the main campus (instead of just campus) is located.
