The proposed bill, if enacted, would update current statutes by appropriating a total of $4,463,785 from the state General Fund for fiscal year 2026 to the Arizona Department of Administration (ADOA). This funding is intended to expand participation in the Law Enforcement Data Sharing Pilot Program, which was initially established with a one-time appropriation of $600,000 in FY 2025. The bill specifies the distribution of funds to various law enforcement entities, including police departments and sheriff's offices, detailing specific amounts allocated to each entity to enhance their participation in the program.
Additionally, the bill includes a provision that exempts these appropriations from lapsing, ensuring that the allocated funds remain available for their intended purpose beyond the fiscal year. The new language introduced in the bill outlines the specific amounts designated for each police department and sheriff's office, thereby updating the current law to reflect these new appropriations and their intended uses.
