Sec. 10. Law Enforcement Camera Grant Fund; creation, rules.

(a) The Law Enforcement Camera Grant Fund is created as a special fund in the State treasury. From appropriations to the Board from the Fund, the Board must make grants to units of local government in Illinois and Illinois public universities for the purpose of (1) purchasing in-car video cameras for use in law enforcement vehicles, (2) purchasing officer-worn body cameras and associated technology for law enforcement officers, and (3) training for law enforcement officers in the operation of the cameras. Grants under this Section may be used to offset data storage costs for officer-worn body cameras.
