Legislative findings

 The General Assembly finds that:   (1) The Division of Arkansas State Police is faced daily with:  (A) Maintaining the most efficient and secure methods of transmitting and processing information between officers in the field and headquarters;  (B) The need to maintain and develop the most efficient means of allocating division personnel and other resources, particularly in emergency circumstances; and  (C) The need to design, construct, and maintain facilities from which the division's personnel and resources may be stationed and deployed;    (2) There is a need to continuously improve, upgrade, expand, and maintain the division's headquarters facilities and communication and information technology systems and equipment to support the police force and its mission to protect and serve the citizens of the state;  (3) A designated method of financing is necessary to enable the division to obtain and maintain communication and information technology equipment and headquarters facilities;  (4) The use of tax-exempt revenue bonds to finance communication and information technology equipment and headquarters facilities has proven to be an economical and cost-efficient method for financing equipment and facilities for the division;  (5) Certain driver's license fees have been pledged and utilized by the Department of Arkansas State Police or the Division of Arkansas State Police since 1997 to finance equipment and facilities for the department or division;  (6) These driver's license fees should continue to be designated as a source of funding to be utilized and pledged by the division to finance or purchase communication and information technology equipment and headquarters facilities;  (7) Communication and information technology equipment and headquarters facilities are needed to maintain modern law enforcement and are, therefore, essential to the safety and welfare of the people of the state; and  (8) The most feasible and least expensive way of providing a designated source for financing the acquisition and construction of headquarters facilities and communication and information technology equipment is to authorize the use of revenue bonds and designate certain driver license fees to be utilized and pledged for that purpose.
