AN ACT ESTABLISHING A FUND TO PROVIDE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FOR THE CARE OF POLICE DOGS AFTER RETIREMENT.

HB 6632 establishes a state fund to provide financial assistance for the care of retired police dogs. The bill directly affects police departments and handlers by covering ongoing medical and living expenses for dogs that have retired from service. Key provisions include creating the fund through state appropriations and requiring the Department of Public Safety to administer the financial aid program. This policy change shifts responsibility for post-retirement care costs from individual departments to state funding, ensuring retired police dogs receive continued support.
