The proposed bill, if enacted, would update current statutes by appropriating a total of $128,563,150 from the state General Fund for fiscal year 2026 to various state departments for employee salary increases. Specifically, it would allocate $71,100,000 to the Arizona Department of Corrections for a 15% salary increase for correctional officers, $1,000,000 for investigators, $3,800,000 to the Arizona Department of Juvenile Corrections for correctional officers, $34,000,000 to the Department of Public Safety for all employees, $8,499,150 to the Administrative Office of the Courts for state employees (excluding judges and justices), and $10,164,000 for state-funded probation officers and staff.

The bill introduces new language that specifies the amounts and purposes of these appropriations, replacing any previous unspecified amounts with concrete figures. The language regarding the salary increases is also standardized to reflect a uniform increase of 15% across the specified positions and departments. Overall, the bill aims to enhance compensation for critical roles within the state's correctional and judicial systems, thereby addressing workforce retention and morale.
