A bill for an act relating to the collection and distribution of fees for wire transmissions, the establishment of the school security grant program, and including contingent effective date provisions.
This bill establishes a new fee structure for wire transmissions, which are defined as money transfers sent to or from locations outside the United States. Financial institutions and their authorized representatives must collect a $5 fee for transfers of $500 or less, plus an additional 2% charge on amounts exceeding $500. The collected fees are submitted quarterly to the state Department of Revenue, with 10% directed to the office to combat human trafficking and the remainder deposited into the state's general fund. The Department of Revenue, working with the Department of Public Safety, is responsible for enforcing compliance, and may recommend license suspensions or revocations for non-payment.

MODERATE
The bill was significantly expanded from a single section on wire transmission fees to a comprehensive package including school safety grants and prison infrastructure funding. While the original text focused solely on collecting fees for international wire transfers, the reprinted version redistributes those funds to support school security measures and prison modernization. Additionally, a new contingent effective date was added, making the new funding provisions conditional on the passage of a separate bill in 2026.
Scope change
The bill's scope expanded from a narrow focus on wire transmission fees to a broader legislative package that establishes new funding streams for school safety and prison infrastructure.
FISCAL
Added a new distribution plan for wire transmission fees, allocating 20% to a school security grant program and 70% to a new prison infrastructure account.
SCOPE
Added a new section establishing a school security grant program to fund safety infrastructure like cameras and metal detectors.
TIMELINE
Added a contingent effective date clause stating that the new school security and prison funding provisions only take effect if a separate bill (HF 2753) is passed in 2026.
REQUIREMENT
Modified the fee collection section to align with the new distribution requirements, ensuring the revenue supports the expanded scope of the bill.
