~ 50-state new law update ~

New laws passed by 26 state legislatures in the 2004 session that impact law enforcement and criminal justice are summarized in this (pdf) 2004 State Report, issued by the International Association of Chiefs of Police. The Oregon Board of Investigators is proposing changes to their state licensing provisions. One of which states that licensed investigators "May not use unlicensed persons to conduct investigative activities." I'd like to receive an interpretation of this proposal. Does this mean that employees must be licensed? Search bills by keyword for individual state legislatures.
