Anti-scale fencing, pedestrian doors, and vehicle gates appropriation
This bill appropriates $3.5 million from the general fund for fiscal year 2026 to the commissioner of public safety. The funds will be granted to the Fencing Consortium to help local government facilities (that are members of the consortium) purchase anti-scale fencing, pedestrian doors, and vehicle gates. The stated purpose is to improve equitable access to "a de-escalation and safety tool" for these facilities. This is a one-time appropriation, not a recurring funding source.
