SUMMARY
Synopsis of HAFC Amendment
The House Appropriations and Finance Committee amendment to House Bill 985 removes any
language pertaining to an appropriation.
Synopsis of Original Bill
House Bill 985 revises the name of the Crime Stoppers Advisory Council to the Crime Stoppers
Council and administratively attaches the council to the Department of Public Safety. The
proposed legislation appropriates $70.0 from the general fund to Department of Public Safety for
administrative and operating costs and per diem and mileage expenses of the crime stoppers
council.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS
The appropriation of $70.0 contained in this bill is a recurring expense to the general fund. Any
unexpended or unencumbered balance remaining at the end of fiscal year 2008 shall revert to the
general fund.
