The legislature is supposed to come up with an enforcement budget when they write law that’s going to mean extra work/personnel.
Ideally.
But if all they’re about is free publicity, they blow that part off and leave it to somebody else to figure out.

Enforcement budget…? Like a victim’s fund? I’m no specialist on this law but I think the executive presents a budget and the legislature approves it.
Spending bills originate in the house and is approved by the senate and sent up to the executive to create law but the authority to actually spend money from the fund is up to the executive, right?
Say Albany gives out money for this purpose to the various local municipalities (county, city, town, zone), and then their executive and/or enforcement agency has their own enforcement priorities… I’m not sure if the legislature can really be blamed here.
