The proposed bill, if enacted, would update current statutes by appropriating a total of $600,000 from the state General Fund for fiscal year 2026-2027 to the Arizona Criminal Justice Commission (ACJC). This funding is intended to be distributed evenly among the sheriffs' offices of the original five Major Incident Division task forces located in Cochise, Coconino, Navajo, Pinal, and Yuma counties. This appropriation is a new insertion into the law, enhancing the financial support for these task forces.
Additionally, the bill mandates that the previously appropriated $600,000 from Laws 2025, Chapter 233, for the major incident regional law enforcement task force, also be distributed evenly to the same sheriffs' offices. This requirement serves to ensure consistency in funding allocation for the task forces, reinforcing their operational capabilities in handling critical incidents. The bill does not alter any existing provisions outside of these financial appropriations.
