Text

In addition
to and apart from any other appointment provisions of this part 4, the director, with
the approval of the appropriate law enforcement agency or agencies, may appoint
peace officers of law enforcement agencies outside the bureau as temporary
agents of the bureau. Such temporary agents shall have all the powers, protections,
defenses, and immunities provided by statute or otherwise to agents of the bureau.
Such temporary agents, if from outside the state personnel system, shall not have
the protection of tenure afforded by part 1 of article 50 of this title to certified
employees. Except for overtime payments authorized by the bureau, the
compensation of temporary agents shall not be paid out of state funds allocated to
the bureau. During such special assignments as temporary agents, the
compensation and employment benefits of such temporary agents shall continue to
be paid by their employing law enforcement agencies. The bureau may pay the
reasonable expenses of such temporary agents pursuant to the same criteria it
uses to pay the reasonable expenses of agents of the bureau. The bureau, upon
request by the employing law enforcement agencies of such temporary agents and
prior to any such temporary appointment, shall provide the employing law
enforcement agencies with a statement detailing the expenses, if any, of such
temporary agents that will be the financial responsibility of the employing law
enforcement agency and those that will be the financial responsibility of the
bureau.
