This appropriation is a new insertion into the existing legal framework, specifically referencing the corrections oversight fund established by section 41-7007 of the Arizona Revised Statutes.
Additionally, the bill allows the director of the independent correctional oversight office to utilize the appropriated funds for purposes outlined in title 41, chapter 59 of the Arizona Revised Statutes. This provision serves to clarify the intended use of the funds, ensuring they are directed towards the oversight of correctional facilities as specified in the existing law. There are no deletions from current statutes in this bill.
