What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, the Department of Justice awards grants to cities to pay for uniformed beat patrol law enforcement officers. This bill makes the following changes to the grant program: allows villages, town, and counties, not just cities, to apply; eliminates the cap of $150,000 per grant; eliminates the requirement that DOJ award the grant to the applicants with the highest rates of violent crime; allows grant recipients to use grant funds to pay for law enforcement officers whose primary duties relate to achieving a law enforcement or public safety goal; and requires annual applications. Also, under the bill, a grant recipient that applies for an additional grant must provide a statement to DOJ regarding its progress using the grant money in achieving goals for which the previous grant was awarded.
