SB 710

Abstract

Amends the Law Enforcement Camera Grant Act. Allows grants to be used to purchase and support use of video cameras for law enforcement (rather than installing) and for training officers (rather than training for operation of cameras). Replaces all references to "videotape" and "tapes" with "video records" and "video recording". Makes changes concerning the use of cameras and training for law enforcement officers. Eliminates provisions concerning applications for grant money and expired transfers of funds by the State Treasurer. Removes authority for the transfer of $1,000,000 from the Law Enforcement Camera Grant Fund to the Traffic and Criminal Conviction Surcharge Fund on June 1, 2015, or as soon thereafter as practical. Provides notwithstanding any other provision of law, moneys in the Law Enforcement Camera Grant Fund may not be appropriated, assigned, or transferred to another State fund. Provides the change on the June 1, 2015 transfer and the prohibition on appropriation, assignment, or transfer of funds from the Law Enforcement Camera Grant Fund to another State fund are effective immediately.
