Expands eligibility for "Body Armor Replacement Fund" grants to additional state agencies.

This bill expands eligibility for "Body Armor Replacement Fund" grants to include any state agency that appoints law enforcement officers. Currently, local law enforcement agencies, the Division of State Police, the Division of Criminal Justice, the Administrative Office of the Courts, and the Department of Corrections are eligible. The bill also defines "law enforcement officer" for the purpose of determining eligibility. The Attorney General will administer the grants, which are intended to fund the purchase of bullet-resistant body armor for law enforcement officers.
