Summary
The bill lets the commissioner of the Department of Parks appoint park rangers as peace officers, giving them the same criminal‑law authority and immunities as sheriffs, constables and police. It removes the two‑year county‑residence requirement for these officers and simplifies filing of their background documents. The bill also requires each ranger to post a bond for faithful performance of duties.
