If enacted, this bill would update current statutes by appropriating an additional $400,000 from the state General Fund to the Address Confidentiality Program Fund for fiscal year 2025-2026. This appropriation is intended to support individuals who have been victims of domestic violence, sexual offenses, or stalking by allowing them to keep their residence addresses confidential, as outlined in A.R.S. ยง 41-162.
Furthermore, the bill includes a declaration of the legislature's intent for this appropriation to be considered ongoing funding in future years, thereby ensuring continued financial support for the program. The new provisions will be inserted into the existing statutes without altering the current legal framework governing the Address Confidentiality Program.
