Bill Summary
Under current law, the Department of Justice awards grants to cities with a population of at least 30,000 to fund community-oriented policing-house programs. 2023 Wisconsin Act 19 sunsets this grant program on July 1, 2025. This bill extends the program by changing the sunset date to July 1, 2027.
AI Summary
This bill extends the sunset date for the community-oriented policing-house grant program currently administered by the Department of Justice. Specifically, the legislation modifies the existing law to push back the termination date of the grant program from July 1, 2025, to July 1, 2027, effectively providing two additional years of funding availability. The grant program, which provides financial support to cities with populations of at least 30,000 to implement community-oriented policing initiatives, will continue to operate under the same parameters during this extended period. By delaying the sunset date, the bill ensures that eligible cities can continue to receive grants to support programs that aim to enhance community-police relationships and collaborative public safety strategies.
