This bill appropriates funds for a public awareness campaign focused on extreme risk protection orders, aimed at educating both the public and law enforcement about these orders. Specifically, it allocates a specified amount from the general fund to the commissioner of public safety for this initiative in fiscal year 2026. The commissioner is also authorized to contract with a private entity to carry out the campaign.
Additionally, the bill includes a provision stating that the section will take effect the day after it is enacted. This ensures that the campaign can be implemented promptly following the legislative process.
