Washington police mental health training becomes state standard
Washington state enacted the Douglas M. Ostling Act requiring eight hours of crisis intervention training in basic law enforcement curriculums by 2017 and a two hour refresher annually. By 2021 current officers must have the eight hour course, with a goal that a quarter of officers receive a 40 hour intensive version. Senator Christine Rolfes led the bill's passage.

KPERS Eyes Lowering Eight Percent Investment Return Target
Kansas public employee retirement system KPERS weighs lowering the annual investment return assumption from 8 percent to align with the national average around 7.5 percent. Officials caution this would worsen long term obligations for Kansas contributors and affect funding ratios and unfunded liabilities. The board, after triannual reassessment, may decide after this election with consultants guiding options.
