County policies.

Summary

The bill creates a new state provision that removes county residency requirements for public defenders (except the chief), staff of public defender offices, judges, court employees, deputy prosecutors, prosecutor office staff, emergency medical services providers, and employees of agencies that employ them. By allowing these positions to be filled by people who live outside the county, the state hopes to expand the pool of qualified workers for the courts and emergency‑medical system. The change takes effect as soon as the bill is enacted.
