Title of Regulation: 6VAC20-50. Rules Relating to Compulsory Minimum Training Standards for Jailors or Custodial Officers, Courthouse and Courtroom Security Officers and Process Service Officers (amending 6VAC20-50-10, 6VAC20-50-20; repealing 6VAC20-50-110).

Statutory Authority: § 9.1-102 of the Code of Virginia.

Public Hearing Information: No public hearings are scheduled.

Public Comment Deadline: August 29, 2012.

Effective Date: September 13, 2012.

Agency Contact: Lisa McGee, Regulatory Manager, Department of Criminal Justice Services, 1100 Bank Street, Richmond, VA 23219, telephone (804) 371-2419, FAX (804) 225-3853, or email lisa.mcgee@dcjs.virginia.gov.

Basis: Section 9.1-102 of the Code of Virginia authorizes the Criminal Justice Services Board to set compulsory minimum training standards for jailors, court security officers, and civil process service officers.

Purpose: The purpose of the amendments is to reorganize the training standards into three distinctive areas: Jail, Court Security, and Civil Process Service. When the current regulation was adopted, there had been a request to combine those three areas and this was done. However, changes in the economy and a need to hire personnel to perform only court security functions or only civil process functions brought another request to separate the areas so that new hires could be trained for only those functions. This reorganization has been done and the rules need to reflect this. This regulation is essential to protect the health, safety, and welfare of citizens of the Commonwealth to ensure that entry level jail officers, court security officers, and civil process service officers receive the most up-to-date training.

Rationale for Using Fast-Track Process: The process for reorganizing the training standards has been going on for about a year and all parties are in accord that the rules should reflect these changes.

Substance: The proposed changes (i) add a definition for the Committee on Training and revise a definition of the standards for greater accuracy and consistency, (ii) provide information on how to find the standards on the DCJS website, (iii) remove references to Performance Outcome Numbers as these are subject to change annually, and (iv) remove the list of Performance Outcomes as these are subject to change annually.

Issues: The primary advantages to the public, the agency, and the Commonwealth are greater clarity in reading the rules; greater ease in complying with the process for revising standards that must be reviewed annually and revised as necessary; and lower cost in this process.

There are no disadvantages to the public or the Commonwealth.

Department of Planning and Budget's Economic Impact Analysis:

Summary of the Proposed Amendments to Regulation. The Board of Criminal Justice Services (Board) proposes to amend its training regulations for jailers, courthouse and courtroom security officers and process serving officers. Specifically, the Board proposes to:

• Define Committee on Training and amend the definition for Compulsory Minimum Training Standards to make it clear that these standards are approved by the Committee on Training,

• Add information to these regulations that will direct interested parties to the complete training standards guidelines on the Department of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS) website and

• Eliminate references to performance outcomes in these regulations because they are now in DCJS guidelines and are subject to annual change.

Result of Analysis. Benefits likely outweigh costs for all proposed regulatory changes.

Estimated Economic Impact. Current regulations do not include a definition for Committee on Training and list the Board as the entity that sets compulsory minimum training standards. Since the committee on training actually sets these standards, the Board proposes to define Committee on Training and revise the definition of compulsory minimum training standards to specify that the committee on training sets these standards. No individual is likely to incur increased costs on account of these changes. To the extent that current regulatory language contains outdated information about who sets training standards, these proposed changes will provide the benefit of clarity.

Current regulations explicitly enumerate performance outcomes on such topics as professionalism, basic law and jail operations. This means that policy guidelines such as a requirement to maintain a professional appearance with respect to clothing, grooming and equipment are in current regulations. Because these performance outcomes are policy statements and are subject to annual change, the Board proposes to strike them from these regulations and, instead promulgate regulatory language that directs interested parties to a complete list of performance outcomes on the DCJS website. Because performance outcomes can change every year, but it would take two years on average to change them in regulation, this regulatory change is likely to provide the benefit of clarity to interested parties.

Businesses and Entities Affected. DCJS reports that individuals who are interested in pursuing careers as jailers, court security officers or civil process officers are subject to the training requirements in these proposed regulations.

Localities Particularly Affected. No localities will be particularly affected by these proposed regulatory changes.

Projected Impact on Employment. This regulatory action will likely have no impact on employment in the Commonwealth.

Effects on the Use and Value of Private Property. This regulatory action will likely have no effect on the use or value of private property in the Commonwealth.

Small Businesses: Costs and Other Effects. These proposed regulatory changes are unlikely to have any effect on small businesses in the Commonwealth.

Small Businesses: Alternative Method that Minimizes Adverse Impact. These proposed regulatory changes are unlikely to have any effect on small businesses in the Commonwealth.

Real Estate Development Costs. This regulatory action will likely have no effect on real estate development costs in the Commonwealth.

Legal Mandate. The Department of Planning and Budget (DPB) has analyzed the economic impact of this proposed regulation in accordance with § 2.2-4007.04 of the Administrative Process Act and Executive Order Number 36 (06). Section 2.2-4007.04 requires that such economic impact analyses include, but need not be limited to, the projected number of businesses or other entities to whom the regulation would apply, the identity of any localities and types of businesses or other entities particularly affected, the projected number of persons and employment positions to be affected, the projected costs to affected businesses or entities to implement or comply with the regulation, and the impact on the use and value of private property. Further, if the proposed regulation has adverse effect on small businesses, § 2.2-4007.04 requires that such economic impact analyses include (i) an identification and estimate of the number of small businesses subject to the regulation; (ii) the projected reporting, recordkeeping, and other administrative costs required for small businesses to comply with the regulation, including the type of professional skills necessary for preparing required reports and other documents; (iii) a statement of the probable effect of the regulation on affected small businesses; and (iv) a description of any less intrusive or less costly alternative methods of achieving the purpose of the regulation. The analysis presented above represents DPBs best estimate of these economic impacts.

Agency's Response to Economic Impact Analysis: The Department of Criminal Justice Services concurs generally with the economic impact analysis (EIA) of the Department of Planning and Budget on the proposed Regulations Relating to Compulsory Minimum Training Standards for Jailors, Courthouse and Courtroom Security Officers, and Process Serving Officers.

Summary:

The amendments add two definitions, revise the layout of the rules due to the reorganization and renumbering of the standards, and repeal 6VAC20-50-110 that listed performance outcomes. The Jail/Court Security/Civil Process Service Curriculum Review Committee determined that a separation of the three areas covered by the training standards is needed and that the only items needed in the regulation were training categories. All changes that are approved are posted with the standards on the Department of Criminal Justice Services' website.
