AI Summary
This bill modifies the duties and administrative responsibilities of the Advisory Council on Traffic Safety, expanding its role and providing more specific guidelines for its operations. The bill amends existing statutes to allow the commissioner of public safety to enter into contracts and interagency agreements for data, expertise, and research projects to support the council's work, and permits the council to host an annual state traffic safety conference. Additionally, the bill creates a new grant program allowing the commissioner to enter into grant agreements for projects aimed at reducing serious and fatal injury crashes, with priority given to local traffic safety coalitions and eligibility extended to local governments, nonprofits, law enforcement agencies, and educational institutions. The bill also updates the council's existing duties, which include advising state leadership on traffic safety policies, supporting the Toward Zero Deaths program, encouraging research, reviewing recommendations from subcommittees, and commenting on traffic safety plans. Furthermore, the bill adjusts funding allocations, with $2,000,000 in each year designated from the general fund for the Advisory Council on Traffic Safety's operations, projects, and activities. The changes are intended to enhance traffic safety efforts and provide more comprehensive support for local and state-level traffic safety initiatives.
