This bill appropriates $1.2 million from the general fund of the state to the Department of Public Safety for the fiscal year 2025-2026, specifically for the establishment of a drug interdiction program in collaboration with the Iowa National Guard. The program aims to combat the trafficking of illicit drugs within Iowa and will support salaries, maintenance, and miscellaneous expenses associated with the initiative.

Additionally, the bill allows for the employment of up to 12 full-time equivalent positions, including 10 drug interdiction specialists and 2 criminal analysts, to effectively implement the program. Importantly, any unencumbered or unobligated funds at the end of the fiscal year will not revert but will remain available for use until the end of the following fiscal year, ensuring continued support for the program's objectives.
