Title: |
Civil Forfeiture Reforms |
Custom Summary | | Official Summary | During the 2017 session, the general assembly enacted a bill
involving civil forfeiture requiring seizing agencies to submit reports to
the department of local affairs (department). The bill requires reporting agencies rather than seizing agencies to file the reports and defines reporting agency. The bill also expands the scope of the reports to include seizures related to a local public nuisance law or ordinance.
The 2017 act also prohibited seizing agencies from receiving
forfeiture proceeds from the federal government unless the aggregate value of property seized in a case is over $50,000. The bill establishes the law enforcement assistance grant program in the department of public safety to reimburse seizing agencies for revenue lost because of this prohibition.
The bill establishes the law enforcement community services grant
program (program) in the division of local government in the department to provide grants to law enforcement agencies, local governments, and community organizations to improve community services. It establishes a committee to review grant applications and make recommendations on grant awards and establishes a fund from which grants are paid.
Under current law, the net balance of proceeds received from a
forfeiture action are divided evenly between the governmental body of the seizing agency and the managed service organization providing behavioral health in the judicial district (MSO). The bill provides that the 50% that went to the MSO is now divided so that the MSO and the new law enforcement community services grant program fund each receive 25%.

Title: |
Digital Trunked Radio System Coverage Gaps |
Custom Summary | | Official Summary | Joint Budget Committee. The statewide digital trunked radio
system (DTRS) provides interoperable radio communications that allow personnel from multiple agencies in different levels of government to rapidly share information and coordinate efforts in emergency situations. While DTRS is considered one of the nation's most successful statewide
public safety communications voice networks, there are areas of the state that do not have adequate coverage on the DTRS network. This means public safety officials are unable to communicate with others when working in geographies with little to no coverage.
The general assembly established the public safety
communications trust fund (trust fund) for the acquisition and maintenance of public safety communications systems, including the DTRS. Currently, through the 2024-25 fiscal year, the general assembly appropriates $7.2 million each fiscal year from the general fund and other funds to the trust fund for purposes of the DTRS. The governor's office of information technology (office) is required to use the money for the replacement of legacy radio equipment and hardware at radio tower sites and for software upgrade assurance. Due to a one-time savings achieved through negotiations between the office and its DTRS software vendor, approximately $3 million of the money appropriated to the trust fund to date is unexpended.
The bill authorizes the office to use any unencumbered and
unexpended money appropriated for purposes of the DTRS on DTRS site supporting infrastructure and DTRS supporting software and hardware.
In addition, in both the 2018-19 and 2019-20 fiscal years, the bill
requires the general assembly to appropriate an additional $2 million from the general fund to the trust fund. The bill requires the office to use the money to work in partnership with local and regional government entities to add additional radio tower sites in areas of the state that are experiencing critical coverage gaps for public safety radio communications. The office is required to submit a report to the joint budget committee detailing the use of the additional $2 million.
