Fiscal Detail and Notes
This amendment removes the $1,000 appropriation that was in the committee amendment, resulting in General Fund savings.  It also removes the requirement that the Bureau of General Services provide surplus electronic equipment at reduced cost to local law enforcement agencies.  A requirement for written policies is added to the requirement for electronic recording of certain interrogations.
