The bill HB2107 seeks to continue the Arizona Department of Homeland Security (AZDOHS) for an additional four years, extending its termination date from July 1, 2024, to July 1, 2028. It also includes a provision that will repeal the department on January 1, 2029. The legislation emphasizes the importance of AZDOHS in enhancing the state's ability to prevent and respond to acts of terrorism and other critical hazards.

Key changes from current law include the repeal of section 41-3024.22, which previously governed the department's sunset review, and the establishment of a new termination date for AZDOHS. The bill retroactively applies these changes from July 1, 2024, ensuring continuity of the department's operations and responsibilities during this period.
