Repeals the sunset for the Cyber Crime Investigation Fund and its grant program for cyber crime investigations.

The bill repeals the sunset for the Cyber Crime Investigation Fund and its grant program, which provides grants to law enforcement agencies for investigating internet sex crimes against children. The fund is administered by the Department of Public Safety and is used to pay salaries of detectives and computer forensic personnel, fund training, and purchase equipment. A panel within the Department of Public Safety awards the grants, with priority given to newly hired personnel. Local matching funds are required for grant eligibility.
