The proposed bill, if enacted, would update current statutes by appropriating $400,000 from the state General Fund for the fiscal year 2025-2026 specifically for the Braille Transcription Program within the Arizona Department of Corrections. This new funding is intended to supplement the existing allocation of $200,000 that the department currently provides annually for the program, effectively doubling the financial support.

Additionally, the bill includes a declaration of legislative intent that the newly appropriated funds be considered ongoing funding in future years, ensuring sustained financial support for the Braille Transcription Program. This change aims to enhance the resources available for educational services provided to incarcerated individuals, particularly those requiring braille materials.
