The act makes 3 changes to the funding and administration of the multidisciplinary crime prevention and crisis intervention grant program. The act:
Requires the state treasurer to transfer $3 million from the general fund to the multidisciplinary crime prevention and crisis intervention grant fund on July 1, 2024;
Modifies the multidisciplinary crime prevention and crisis intervention grant fund so that money in the fund is annually, rather than continuously, appropriated; and
Extends the repeal date of the multidisciplinary crime prevention and crisis intervention grant program, grant fund, and advisory committee from January 1, 2025, to July 1, 2027.
The act also modifies both the law enforcement workforce recruitment, retention, and tuition grant fund and the SMART policing grant fund so that money in both funds is annually, rather than continuously, appropriated.
Lastly, the act states that unless the Colorado state patrol or a local law enforcement agency meets certain reporting requirements, or is working with the division of criminal justice to meet these reporting requirements, the Colorado state patrol or a local law enforcement agency is not eligible to be awarded grants under the multidisciplinary crime prevention and crisis intervention grant program, the law enforcement workforce recruitment, retention, and tuition grant program, or the state's mission for assistance in recruiting and training (SMART) policing grant program.
