Subject to appropriations and only after all law enforcement agencies have received sufficient funding through grants allowing compliance with the mandates of Section 10-15 of the Law Enforcement Officer-Worn Body Camera Act, shall any remaining funds be used for data and storage fees and additional personnel on a pro-rata basis.

Moneys received for the purposes of this Section, including, without limitation, fee receipts and gifts, grants, and awards from any public or private entity, must be deposited into the Fund. Any interest earned on moneys in the Fund must be deposited into the Fund.

(b) The Board may set requirements for the distribution of grant moneys and determine which law enforcement agencies are eligible.
