Public Safety Workforce Building Program

Became law

This already passed. Here's what you can still do.

1. Push for repeal or amendment

Legislative staff still count constituent contacts on enacted laws. A steady mail stream is what gets a bill onto the next session's repeal docket. Pick “Oppose” below and the message will frame the ask around repeal, amendment, or enforcement relief.

3. Tell people the bill affects

Most people don't hear about a state-level bill until enforcement starts. A short note now (not a thread, just a link) gives the people most affected time to plan.

Where it is in the process
Plain-English Summary

This bill creates the Public Safety Workforce Building Program and a new fund to support it. The program will offer grants to state and local governments to help recruit, train, and keep public safety workers like law enforcement, firefighters, detention officers, and public attorneys. The bill also combines several existing workforce funds into this new fund and sets rules for how the grants can be used and how the program will be overseen.
