Constables — officials who serve legal documents, execute court orders, and sometimes make arrests under contracts with cities or counties — would face significant new state oversight under this bill. Starting January 1, 2027, counties and cities could only contract with constables who hold a state-issued license through a newly created Constables Licensing Act, administered by the Division of Professional Licensing and a new Constables Licensing Board; deputy constables would need licenses by July 2027 as well. To qualify, applicants must be at least 21, certified as special function officers, pass a criminal background check, carry minimum insurance, and meet other standards set by rule, and the bill creates three license types (constable, deputy constable, apprentice constable), spells out grounds for discipline (including fines up to $2,000 per day and license suspension or revocation), and prevents cities or counties from writing their own local rules regulating constables. The bill also rewrites how county contracts with constables must be structured — including required contract terms, indemnification, insurance, bonding, fees, and a four-year contract limit — and updates related laws on constable duties, fees for civil and criminal service of process, identification and uniform requirements, and how constables interact with scrap metal dealers and public-servant interference laws.
