	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 1457, Johannessen.   Law enforcement funding.
   Existing law allocates annually prescribed amounts from the
General Fund to the Controller for allocation to county sheriffs'
departments to enhance law enforcement efforts, and until July 1,
2002, requires those funds to supplement rather than supplant
existing law enforcement resources.
   This bill would extend that requirement indefinitely.
   The bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an
urgency statute.
