     3    § 144-a. Eligible professions for the purchase, sale, and use of  body
     4  armor. The secretary of state in consultation with the division of crim-

     6  services, the department of corrections and community  supervision,  the
     7  division  of  the state police, and the office of general services shall
     8  promulgate rules and regulations  to  establish  criteria  for  eligible
     9  professions  requiring the use of body armor, as such term is defined in
