The proposed bill, if enacted, would amend 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 detailing the salary increases for each department and position is newly inserted, while the existing language regarding the appropriations remains unchanged. This update aims to provide clarity and ensure that the specified funds are allocated appropriately for the intended salary increases.
