What’s in it

This bill creates a public safety equipment fund and appropriates moneys in the fund to the department of public safety for the purchase, maintenance, and replacement of equipment used by the department. The bill provides that for each application for motor vehicle registration renewal, the county treasurer or the department of transportation (DOT) shall request through use of a written form, and, if the application is made in person, through verbal communication, that an applicant make a voluntary contribution of $1 or more, computed to the nearest whole dollar, to the public safety equipment fund.

Read the full explanation

The moneys collected by the county and the DOT in the form of contributions must be remitted to the treasurer of state for deposit in the public safety equipment fund. However, up to percent of the moneys collected by the county may be retained by the county treasurer for deposit in the general fund of the county. The bill takes effect January 1, 2020.
