If this bill becomes law, it will rename the existing "Arizona Trial and Digital Evidence Fund" to the "Fair Jury Improvement Fund." The bill will also terminate the fund and the additional fee that supports it on specific dates: July 1, 2031, for the fund itself and January 1, 2031, for the fee. This change replaces the current expiration dates of June 30, 2027, and December 31, 2026, respectively, with the new termination dates.

Additionally, the bill will make conforming changes to ensure that references to the fund reflect its new name. The clerk will continue to collect the additional fees, which will now be directed to the Fair Jury Improvement Fund, and the state treasurer will manage the fund's investments as per existing statutes. Overall, the bill aims to streamline the management and purpose of the fund while updating its legal framework.
