Directs the division of criminal justice services to promulgate safety standards and training requirements for the protection of law enforcement staff against biological hazards posed by spitting of persons in custody.

This bill requires the division of criminal justice services to create safety standards and training for law enforcement personnel. The goal is to protect these staff members from biological hazards, specifically those that can arise from individuals in custody who may spit. This measure aims to enhance the safety and well-being of law enforcement officers in their work environment.

Supporters of this bill would argue that it is a crucial step in ensuring the health and safety of law enforcement officers. They would highlight the need for proper training and standards to protect officers from potential biological risks, promoting a safer working environment for those who serve the community.

Critics might contend that this bill could divert attention and resources from more pressing issues within law enforcement. They may argue that focusing on spitting as a biological hazard is an overreaction and that it could lead to unnecessary fear or stigma towards individuals in custody.
