Senate Author: Wentworth |

Effective: 5-26-09 |
House Sponsor: Corte |
Current law requires a municipality with a population of less than 850,000 to use money collected from certain municipal court cases for a school crossing guard program if the municipality operates one and authorizes a municipality that does not operate a school crossing guard program or that receives money in excess of the amount necessary to fund the program either to deposit the additional money in an interest-bearing account or to expend it for child safety, health, or nutrition programs. Senate Bill 446 amends the Code of Criminal Procedure to authorize a municipality to expend the additional money described above for programs designed to enhance public safety and security.
