DOA:......Potts, BB0027 - Transfer of funds to district attorneys
For 2015-2017 Budget -- Not Ready For Introduction
An Act ...; relating to: the budget.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
justice
Under current law, DOJ transfers funds from its appropriation for crime laboratories and deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) analysis to its appropriation for drug law enforcement, regional crime laboratories, and genetic evidence activities. A portion of the funds transferred to the appropriation for drug law enforcement, regional crime laboratories, and genetic evidence activities is transferred to the appropriation for district attorneys for activities related to DNA.
Under this bill, DOJ instead transfers funds directly from its appropriation for crime laboratories and DNA analysis to the appropriation for district attorneys for activities related to DNA.
