Bill > HF1256

This bill extends ongoing funding for the Philando Castile Memorial Training Fund, which provides $6,000,000 annually to support and strengthen law enforcement training. The fund allows reimbursement for specific types of training courses, including those related to use of force, crisis response, conflict management, cultural diversity, and autism awareness. Training course sponsors must submit detailed applications to the board, including course goals, objectives, outlines, instructor qualifications, and assessment plans. After each course, instructors must submit student evaluations, and the board will maintain records of approved and denied courses. Courses will be reviewed after the first year to ensure they meet approved learning outcomes. If funds remain after reimbursing eligible course requests, the board may use remaining funds to reimburse law enforcement agencies for additional approved training courses. The key change in this bill is establishing a base funding of $6,000,000 for fiscal year 2026 and subsequent years, ensuring continued support for critical law enforcement training initiatives.
