HB2574 proposes an appropriation of funds to the Arizona Department of Education to establish a statewide connected behavioral threat assessment and management platform aimed at identifying potential threats to schools. The bill outlines an appropriation of $7,000,000 for fiscal year 2024-2025 and $5,000,000 for fiscal year 2025-2026. The platform is required to be centralized, web-based, hosted in a secure cloud environment, and incorporate behavioral assessment best practices at least as stringent as the University of Virginia's Comprehensive School Threat Assessment Guidelines developed in 2018.

The bill also includes a provision that exempts the appropriations from lapsing, meaning the funds will not be subject to the usual expiration if not spent within a certain timeframe. Amendments to the bill have reduced the original proposed appropriations to $4,500,000 for fiscal year 2024-2025, with no mention of the $5,000,000 for the following fiscal year.
