Bill > SF1701

This bill amends a previous law to make ongoing funding of $6,000,000 each year for the Philando Castile Memorial Training Fund, which supports law enforcement training. The fund specifically reimburses costs for training courses related to use of force, crisis response, conflict management, cultural diversity, and autism training. Training course sponsors must submit detailed applications to the board, including course goals, outlines, instructor qualifications, and learning assessment plans. The board will review courses after the first year and maintain records of approved and denied courses. Instructors must submit student evaluations, and a list of licensees who complete the courses must be maintained and transmitted to the board. The key change is that the funding base, which was previously set at $0, is now permanently established at $6,000,000 starting in fiscal year 2026, ensuring consistent financial support for law enforcement training programs designed to improve professional standards and community interactions.
