AI Summary

This bill establishes three grant programs to provide financial assistance to qualified sheriff's offices, constable's offices, and prosecutor's offices in rural counties in Texas. The Rural Sheriff's Office Salary Assistance Grant Program provides grants of up to $500,000 to counties with populations of 300,000 or less to help meet minimum salary requirements for sheriffs, deputies, and jailers. The Rural Constable's Office Salary Assistance Grant Program provides grants of up to $45,000 to help constables in these rural counties meet minimum salary requirements. The Rural Prosecutor's Office Salary Assistance Grant Program provides grants of up to $275,000 to prosecutor's offices in rural jurisdictions to increase salaries for assistant attorneys, investigators, and victim assistance coordinators, or to hire additional staff. The comptroller is required to adopt rules to implement these programs, and qualified counties and prosecutor's offices cannot apply for the grants until January 1, 2024.
