Legislative Proposals
In past years, State Executive Budget contributions to local criminal justice programs represented meaningful partnerships with local governments and community-based providers of services. In keeping with that need, the Assembly provides $9,670,000 to fund a variety of programs historically funded in the State budget which were vetoed by the Governor in 1998-99 or eliminated in the 1999-2000 Executive Budget proposal. In addition, the Assembly recommends that the interstate compact for the transfer of parolees and probationers continue as currently administered under law. The Assembly proposes funding for the Federal Anti-Drug grants program which will be allocated pursuant to a chapter of the Laws of 1999. The Assembly, in addition, proposes an increase of $1,000,000 in prosecution assistance funding above the level of the Executive Budget request.
The Assembly provides $6,000,000 for the Motor Vehicle Theft and Insurance Fraud Prevention Board for grants to State and local anti-auto theft prevention programs.
