2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.

Public safety funding for 2026–27

The law funds state public safety for July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. It provides $566.6 million total. It includes about $342.1 million for staff, $200.2 million for operations, $663,900 for equipment, and $23.7 million for trustee and benefit payments. Money supports Corrections, Juvenile Corrections, State Police, and related programs. It takes effect July 1, 2026, and agencies must spend the money as listed in the act.

Staffing caps, transfer rules, and audits

The law sets maximum staff for FY2027: Corrections 2,254.35 FTE; Juvenile Corrections 396.00 FTE; State Police 646.09 FTE. Any increase needs the Governor’s OK, and lawmakers are notified. Corrections can move money between most of its programs. Money for County and Out‑of‑State Placement and Medical Services can only move between those two. Transfers between different funds still need the Legislature. Agencies must use money only for its listed purpose. Audit reviews may occur, and outside audit reports go to the Joint Finance‑Appropriations Committee.
