Fiscal Analysis
The bill would amend the Government Code and require the Criminal Justice Division within the Trusteed Programs within the Office of the Governor to establish and administer a competitive grant program through which eligible prosecuting attorneys may apply for a grant to support the prosecution of border crimes. Funding for the border prosecution grants would be appropriated out of the General Revenue-Dedicated Operators and Chauffeurs License Account No. 99.
