STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS 08478
This legislation promotes public safety in that it provides for the destruction of bombs
and other explosive devices which have been lawfully seized by a law enforcement
agency. The failure to dispose of these bombs in a safe fashion presents a threat to-law
enforcement personnel as well as to the public at large. The legislation also requires
recording information to preserve a record of the bomb, its destruction, as well as other
evidence which may later be required in trial.
FISCAL NOTE
There is no fiscal impact on the state general fund.
