SCS/SB 689 - This act creates "Project Exile", a program requiring the state to review certain weapons offense cases for the possibility of federal prosecution, if it appears that federal prosecution is reasonably likely to result in more restrictive bail, stricter enforcement or greater penalties. The Director of the Department of Public Safety is responsible for administration of the program.

The act is similar to SB 439 (2001).
