HB 22-1318

HB 22-1318 extends the deadline for Colorado law enforcement agencies to connect to a statewide information sharing system called CISC. The original deadline was June 30, 2022, but this bill pushes it back to June 30, 2023, giving local police departments more time to integrate with the system using grant funds. This helps agencies that need extra time due to different budget schedules. Since the bill has been signed into law, these agencies now have until the end of 2023 to join CISC and use the available grants.

Official Summary

The law enforcement, public safety, and criminal justice information sharing grant program provides grants to assist local law enforcement agencies in gaining access to the information sharing system created in the Colorado information sharing consortium (CISC). Grant recipients can use the money to pay for computer hardware, software, and programming costs necessary to connect to the CISC's information sharing systems. There is money remaining in the law enforcement, public safety, and criminal justice information sharing grant program fund (fund), and multiple law enforcement agencies need additional time to join the CISC because their budget timelines differ from the state budget timeline. The act extends the deadline for using money in the fund from June 30, 2022, to June 30, 2023, to allow those law enforcement agencies enough time to join the CISC and use the fund. (Note: This summary applies to this bill as enacted.)
