AI Summary
This bill establishes a new fund called the "Pursuit Safety and Officer Technology Fund Account" within the state treasury, which will be used to purchase pursuit intervention technology and fund law enforcement safety training. To finance this fund, a supplemental fee of two dollars will be added to various driver's license fees, including Class "D" and "E" licenses, commercial driver's licenses (Class "A", "B", and "C"), and motorcycle endorsements. Pursuit intervention technology refers to devices like GPS tracking projectiles, tire deflation systems, and vehicle-tethering systems designed to safely end high-speed chases. The funds collected will be appropriated by the legislature to the Louisiana Commission on Law Enforcement and the Administration of Criminal Justice, which will then provide grants to state, parish, and municipal law enforcement agencies for acquiring this technology and developing training programs, with a maximum of five percent of the fund balance allowed for administrative costs. This Act is set to become effective on July 1, 2026.
