HB 2901 is a bill that contains provisions related to criminal justice to implement the FY 2025 budget. It includes amendments to various sections of the Arizona Revised Statutes and extends the existence of certain funds through the end of FY 2025. The bill also allows for the use of monies from specific funds for broader purposes within the respective departments.

Key changes proposed by the bill include prioritizing in-state residents for concealed weapons permit applications, extending the existence and altering the use of funds such as the Fentanyl Prosecution, Diversion and Testing Fund, and the Antihuman Trafficking Grant Fund. Additionally, it renames the Court Appointed Special Advocate Fund to include "Vulnerable Persons" and expands its use, delays the full implementation of the DPS's Major Incidents Division to FY 2028, and allows the Department of Corrections to use monies from the Transition Program Fund and the Alcohol Abuse Treatment Fund for any department expenses in FY 2025. The bill also delays the prohibition on using Anti-Racketeering Revolving Fund monies to pay for salaries for full-time equivalent positions until after August 27, 2025.
