This bill proposes to update current statutes by appropriating $5,000,000 from the state general fund for the fiscal year 2026-2027 specifically for the department of public safety. The funds are designated for the use of artificial intelligence in enhancing border security measures.
Additionally, the bill allows the department of public safety to distribute these appropriated funds to local law enforcement agencies, enabling them to utilize artificial intelligence technologies to enforce border security more effectively. There are no deletions or changes to existing statutes; the bill solely introduces new provisions related to funding and the use of technology in border security efforts.
