SPONSORS: Senators Rinehart, Haugen, Loveland, M. Rasmussen and Franklin
SENATE COMMITTEE ON GOVERNMENT OPERATIONS
Staff: Eugene Green (786‑7405)
Hearing Dates: February 3, 1994
BACKGROUND:
Cities receive two distributions from the state MVET for local criminal justice assistance. The first distribution of 1.1937 percent of the MVET is based on crime rates in excess of 125 percent of the statewide average. The second distribution of 1.1937 percent of the MVET is based on six allocations, one of which is a 20 percent allocation based on violent crime rates. Certain allocations of this second distribution are distributed semi-annually.
SUMMARY:
Moneys remaining undistributed under the 20 percent allocation based on violent crimes at the end of the calendar year shall be distributed to the Criminal Justice Training Commission to reimburse participating city law enforcement agencies with ten or fewer full-time commissioned patrol officers the cost of temporary replacement of each officer who is enrolled in basic law enforcement training.
Certain allocations of the second distribution to cities are made quarterly (rather than semi-annually).
Appropriation: none
Revenue: none
