Funding for Body Cameras

Summary

The bill amends Florida Statutes to add body‑camera gear to the definition of “infrastructure,” so money collected through existing local government infrastructure surtaxes could be spent on that equipment. It would affect counties, municipalities and school districts that levy the surtax, as well as law‑enforcement agencies that need body cameras. By expanding permissible uses of the surtax, the measure seeks to create a funding source for body‑camera programs without creating a new tax.
