Bill > SF2911

This bill eliminates the community crime and violence prevention account by transferring $42 million from that account to the general fund. The bill repeals two sections of a 2023 law that previously established this account, which was intended to provide funding for crime and violence prevention grants. Specifically, the bill undoes a previous legislative action that had transferred $70 million from the general fund to create the special revenue account and was set to appropriate up to $14 million annually to the commissioner of public safety for crime prevention purposes. The transfer of funds will be effective immediately, while the repeal of the previous law sections will take effect on July 1, 2025. This bill effectively dismantles a recently created funding mechanism for community crime and violence prevention programs, redirecting the existing funds back to the state's general fund.
