The proposed bill, if enacted, would update current statutes by appropriating a total of $4,585,575 from the state General Fund for fiscal year 2026 to the Arizona Department of Administration (ADOA). This funding is designated for distribution to various law enforcement entities to enhance their participation in the Law Enforcement Data Sharing Pilot Program. The bill specifies the amounts allocated to specific police departments and sheriff's offices, including $343,000 for the Phoenix Police Department, $574,000 for the Department of Public Safety, and various other amounts for departments across the state, totaling 39 entities.
Additionally, the bill includes a provision that exempts these appropriations from lapsing, meaning the allocated funds will not expire at the end of the fiscal year, which is a change from the usual provisions under Arizona law. The bill's language introduces new appropriations and specific allocations while maintaining the existing framework of the law regarding the pilot program established by previous legislation.
