Expands the definition of uniformed personnel to include correctional officers for interest arbitration purposes.

This bill amends the definition of uniformed personnel to include correctional officers for purposes of interest arbitration. It specifies that correctional officers, whether uniformed or nonuniformed, commissioned or noncommissioned, employed in jails, correctional facilities, or detention facilities in certain counties, are included in the definition. These officers must be trained to control and maintain custody of inmates and safeguard them from other inmates. The change aims to ensure these officers are considered in collective bargaining processes.
