Under current law, 6% of fines and forfeitures collected for traffic infractions must be deposited in the Law Enforcement Agency Reimbursement Fund, which is then used to reimburse municipalities and counties at a flat rate of $50 per day when a law enforcement officer from the municipality or county attends court. Any balance in the fund at the end of the fiscal year is transferred to the General Fund.

This bill requires that any balance in the fund at the end of the fiscal year be distributed among municipalities according to a population-based revenue-sharing formula. If a municipality does not qualify because it does not employ at least one law enforcement officer or contract with a county to provide patrol service, then the county in which that municipality is located receives the nonqualifying municipality's share of the fund.
