What it would have done

Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

This bill requires the Department of Justice to establish an award program that provides awards on a first-come, first-served basis to law enforcement agencies that have gone through an approved third-party accreditation process. Under the bill, there are two tiers of award funding available: the higher tier of funding provides $25,000 to law enforcement agencies that have received full state or national accreditation and the lower tier of funding provides $8,000 to law enforcement agencies that have received core or partial state or national accreditation. Under the bill, a law enforcement agency may receive an award once every three years.

The bill provides $792,200 in the 2023-24 fiscal year and $1,042,200 in the 2024-25 fiscal year for this purpose and increases the authorized full-time equivalent positions for DOJ by one position to administer the award program created in the bill.
