Explanation


1. BACKGROUND:

A. Need: This legislation is needed to enter into an agreement with the Office of the Governor's Highway Safety Representative (OGHSR), State of Ohio to participate in a FY2004 Selective Traffic Enforcement Program and to appropriate funds to cover the costs of this program. The OGHSR provides federal funds for activities that will have the greatest impact toward crash reduction, responsible driving behavior and associated economic loss reduction. This program will promote enforcement to reduce speeding and remove impaired drivers from the highway during specific holiday periods. The agreement authorizes reimbursement for overtime costs of sworn personnel to work in the program.

B. Emergency Designation: Emergency legislation is necessary for the start up of program
activities during the specified holiday periods.

2. FISCAL IMPACT:

All funds appropriated are reimbursable from the State of Ohio; therefore there will be no effect on the financial status of the General Fund.
