The proposed bill aims to prohibit the use of state funds for joint operations with federal law enforcement agencies that conceal their identities while exercising law enforcement authority. Specifically, it states that funds appropriated to the Department of Public Safety and local governments receiving state public safety funds cannot be used to support such operations. However, exceptions are made for peace officers conducting sanctioned undercover operations, special weapons and tactics responsibilities, or explosive recovery and disposal operations.

Additionally, the bill establishes a right of action for individuals or entities that violate this prohibition, allowing for civil penalties that include triple damages, fines ranging from $5,000 to $10,000 per violation, and the recovery of legal costs. It also introduces a qui tam provision, enabling private individuals to bring actions on behalf of the state, with the state entitled to all proceeds from such actions. The bill emphasizes that proof of specific intent to defraud is not necessary for a violation, thereby streamlining the enforcement process against misuse of state funds in these contexts.
