The proposed bill, if enacted, would update current statutes by appropriating a total of $20,650,000 from the state General Fund for fiscal year 2025-2026 to various agencies. Specifically, it would allocate $2,250,000 to the Arizona Criminal Justice Commission, $9,100,000 to the Department of Economic Security, and $9,300,000 to the Department of Public Safety. This funding is intended to backfill services that were previously funded through federal monies received from the VOCA Fix to Sustain the Crime Victims Fund Act of 2021.

The bill introduces new language that specifies the appropriations and the purpose behind them, while the existing statutes remain unchanged. The new provisions clarify the amounts allocated to each agency and the context of these appropriations, ensuring that the funding is directed towards supporting services for victims of crime as mandated by the federal act.
