AI Summary

This bill establishes the Gateway Municipality Public Safety Program, a pilot program administered by the Executive Office of Public Safety and Security, in consultation with the Executive Office of Housing and Economic Development. The program will provide grants to gateway municipalities (a term referring to certain economically-challenged cities) to address public safety issues that hinder economic development. The bill creates a dedicated Gateway Municipality Public Safety Fund to finance the program, which will be funded initially with $3 million, as well as any further appropriations or grants. The program has reporting requirements, including municipalities submitting progress reports and the state issuing an annual report on the program's efficacy. The bill also includes a provision to repeal Section 1 starting in 2024.
