The amount of cost will depend on the circumstances of the call-sharing agreements reached with each county sheriff's department and can not be determined at this time. Adding the Mandate Preamble to the bill exempts the state from the obligation to pay at least 90% of subsequent municipal costs. | County | Significant | |||||||
