Establishes a public safety radio account for grants to local governments and state agencies for radio equipment.
The bill establishes a public safety radio account in the special revenue fund, funded by fees and interest. It directs the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension to return abandoned or stolen property to the rightful owner or sell it at auction if unreturnable. Proceeds from these sales are deposited into the public safety radio account. The account funds grants for local governments, federally recognized Tribal entities, and state agencies to purchase or upgrade radio equipment for the statewide Allied Radio Matrix for Emergency Response (ARMER) system.
