This bill proposes to update current statutes by appropriating $20 million from the state General Fund for fiscal year 2026-2027 specifically to the Department of Public Safety (DPS). The funds are intended to reimburse cities, towns, and counties for the installation of supplemental fencing or bollard walls in high-crossing areas along Arizona's southern border. This new provision aims to enhance public safety and border security.

The bill introduces new language that specifies the appropriation and its intended use, while the existing statutes regarding the responsibilities of the DPS remain unchanged. The bill will take effect on the general effective date, ensuring that the funding can be utilized promptly for the intended purpose.
