SUMMARY
Synopsis of Bill
House Bill 450 appropriates $400.0 from the general fund to Department of Public Safety for the
purpose of expanding the use of Computer-Assisted Dispatch (CAD) systems in state police ve-
hicles.
PERFORMANCE IMPLICATIONS
DPS reports not all field officers have the same access to this technology reducing their potential
effectiveness in supporting the Department’s incentives.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS
The appropriation of $400.0 contained in this bill is a non-recurring expense to the general fund.
Any unexpended or unencumbered balance remaining at the end of fiscal year 2006 shall revert
to the general fund.
