This bill proposes to update current statutes by appropriating $300,000 from the state General Fund to the Arizona Department of Corrections (ADC) for the Braille Transcription Program in fiscal year 2026-2027. The bill mandates that ADC submit annual reports by October 15 for three consecutive years (2026, 2027, and 2028) detailing the number of students served by the program both within and outside the state in the prior fiscal year.

Additionally, the bill clarifies the legislature's intent for the $300,000 appropriation to be considered ongoing funding in future years, building on the existing allocation of $200,000 per fiscal year for the program. The proposed changes will enhance transparency and accountability regarding the program's impact and funding continuity.
