Law Change
The 2011 Legislative Session created a new law regarding peace officer licensing. This law allows for renewal of a peace officer's license up to one (1) year after expiration of the license. Inactive license holders are required to meet the same qualifications, testing, and insurance requirements as are required by law and rule for a licensee on active status. There is no provision for reinstatement of licenses.
