Explanation
(This amendment provides $1.3 million from the general fund the second year to fully restore the general fund support for the school resource officer grant program. The general fund amount is equal to the level of general support provided during fiscal year 2002, which represented the largest historical general fund support for the program. The amendment also states that the Department of Criminal Justice Services will prioritize grants to elementary, middle, and high schools where no full-time school resource office is located.)
