Summary of Legislation
The bill modifies the funding structure of three grant programs in the Department of Public
Safety (CDPS). The grant programs are the:
Multidisciplinary Crime Prevention and Crisis Intervention (MCPCI) Program;
Law Enforcement Workforce Recruitment, Retention, and Tuition Program; and
State’s Mission for Assistance in Recruiting and Training (SMART) Program.
Each program has a corresponding cash fund that, under current law, is continuously
appropriated. The bill makes each cash fund subject to annual appropriations, transfers
$3.0 million from the General Fund to the MCPCI Grant Fund on July 1, 2024, and makes
FY 2024-25 appropriations from each cash fund to the CDPS for the grant programs.
Finally, the bill continues the MCPCI program, which is scheduled to repeal on January 1, 2025,
for one and a half years, until July 1, 2027.
Background
All three grant programs were created through Senate Bill 22-145. More information about
these CDPS grant programs can be found here.

Future program funding is at the discretion of the General Assembly.
