HB 1650 -- Multijurisdictional Interstate Enforcement Agreements

Sponsor:  DeMarce

This bill allows interstate agreements for the enforcement of
controlled substance laws.  Under the bill, a county bordering
another state and any political subdivision within such county
may reach an agreement with the political subdivision of another
state's adjacent county, to form a multijurisdictional drug
enforcement group.  The members of the multijurisdictional drug
enforcement group have all the investigatory powers, powers of
arrest, privileges, and immunities of law enforcement officers
of this state, if the officers of the other state are certified
officers in that state.

The bill makes the enforcement group eligible to receive state
grants to defray operation costs.
