AI Summary
This bill appropriates $250,000 from the state's general fund in fiscal year 2026 to the Commissioner of Public Safety, specifically to provide a grant to a nonprofit organization for establishing a Community Engagement Response Team (CERT) in the Rochester area. The CERT will be composed of community leaders and volunteers with a mission to enhance public safety by serving as a bridge between the Black community and law enforcement. The team's primary objectives include creating opportunities, mediating community conflicts, and advocating for the Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) community. By funding this initiative, the bill aims to improve community-law enforcement relations and provide support for historically marginalized populations through a locally-driven, community-centered approach.
