House Bill No. by Representative Villio amends the Law Enforcement Recruitment Incentive Program by extending its termination date from July 1, 2027, to July 1, 2029. This program is designed to assist in the recruitment of law enforcement officers in Louisiana and is funded through the Law Enforcement Recruitment Incentive Fund. The bill also stipulates that upon the program's termination, any unexpended and unencumbered funds will be transferred to the state general fund.
The bill will take effect upon the governor's signature or, if not signed, after the designated time for bills to become law without signature, as outlined in the Louisiana Constitution. If the governor vetoes the bill and it is later approved by the legislature, it will become effective the day after that approval.
