Establishes the "Private Security Camera Incentive Program", within the department of public safety
HB 1368 creates a state-funded program that provides rebates or vouchers to help eligible residents in designated high-crime areas purchase outdoor security cameras. It directly affects seniors (65+), disabled individuals, or households earning below 150% of the federal poverty level or 60% of state median income, provided they live in a "priority area" identified by the Department of Public Safety based on crime data. The program, starting in 2027, reimburses up to the full cost of qualifying cameras meeting digital recording standards, with applicants agreeing not to record others' private property. Funds come from a dedicated state treasury account, and the program automatically ends in 2033 unless reauthorized.
