AI Summary
This bill appropriates $1.2 million to the Iowa Department of Public Safety (DPS) for fiscal year 2025-2026 to establish a drug interdiction program in collaboration with the Iowa National Guard. The program aims to combat illegal drug trafficking within the state by creating 12 full-time equivalent positions, specifically 10 drug interdiction specialists and 2 criminal analysts. These specialists will work alongside the National Guard to identify, track, and disrupt drug trafficking networks operating in Iowa. The bill includes a provision that allows any unspent funds from this appropriation to remain available for use in the following fiscal year, instead of reverting back to the state's general fund. This flexible funding approach ensures that the program can continue its anti-drug trafficking efforts without being constrained by strict annual budget limitations.
