Explanation:
(This amendment provides additional funding for aid to localities with police departments, which is more commonly referred to as the HB 599 program. The additional funding serves two purposes: (1) restoration of more than $10 million in reductions to HB 599 funding included in the Governor's October 2007 budget reduction plan and (2) increasing HB 599 funding to account for the revenue growth contained in the Governor's introduced budget.) |
