What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under this bill, if in any year a municipality decreases the amount of its

municipal budget dedicated to hiring, training, and retaining law enforcement

officers so that it is less than the amount dedicated to that purpose in the previous

year, the municipality will receive a county and municipal aid payment that is

reduced by the amount of that decrease. The bill provides that the amount of all such

reductions will be distributed to the municipalities that did not reduce their law

enforcement budgets in proportion to each municipality's share of the total amount

of county and municipal aid payments. Furthermore, the amount of the reduced

payment that the municipality receives becomes the amount of county and municipal

aid that the municipality will receive in subsequent years.

The reductions under the bill do not apply to a municipality that transfers

responsibility for providing law enforcement to another local unit of government or

that enters into a cooperative agreement to share law enforcement responsibilities

with another local unit of government.
