The bill SB1588 requires the Arizona Criminal Justice Commission (ACJC) to create a publicly accessible State, County, and Municipal Open Data System on its website, mandating various criminal justice agencies to report specific identifying information and relevant data regarding offenders, victims, and events. It also modifies the use of a $1,368,000 appropriation for firearm training simulators, ensuring they include certain features and a certified curriculum.

Key changes from current law include the establishment of a structured data reporting system that was not previously mandated, enhancing data transparency while protecting personal identifying information from being released by the ACJC. The bill also emphasizes the need for detailed reporting from law enforcement and other agencies, while the appropriations for training simulators are specified to improve law enforcement training capabilities. Concerns about unfunded mandates and the removal of certain reporting requirements contributed to the Governor's veto of the bill.
