K.A.R. 106-2-3. Unprofessional conduct. The proposed amendment to this regulation modifies the definition of unprofessional conduct to include the following additional acts or omissions: (m) failing to report a criminal offense to the commission as required by K.A.R. 106-2-2b, and amendments thereto; or (n) failing to comply with the requirements of K.S.A. 74-5611a(c), and amendments thereto, or K.S.A. 74-5611a(b), and amendments thereto, or both.
The Commission anticipates that the proposed amendments will have minor to no economic impact on the law enforcement community or the general public.
K.A.R. 106-3-7. Establishment of a Standard Qualification Course of Fire. The proposed creation of this regulation simply codifies a Standard Qualification Course of Fire that is required by K.S.A. 74-5607(e) into a K.A.R. Additionally, this course of fire has been voluntarily adhered to for the past 18+ years by Kansas law enforcement agencies. The Commission anticipates that the new regulation will have minor to no economic impact on the law enforcement community or the general public.
