Bill > SB1147

This bill provides specific appropriations from the state general fund for fiscal year 2025-2026 to support a law enforcement data sharing software pilot program. The bill allocates funds to 37 different law enforcement entities across Arizona, including police departments from major cities like Phoenix, Tucson, and Mesa, various county sheriff's offices, and university police departments. The appropriations range from $44,200 for the Sierra Vista police department to $600,000 for the Pinal County Sheriff's Office, with most allocations falling between $50,000 and $350,000. Notably, the bill includes an exemption from the standard Arizona statute (section 35-190) that would normally cause these appropriations to lapse, meaning the funds can be used beyond the typical time restrictions. The funding appears intended to expand participation in a previously established pilot program focused on improving data sharing capabilities among law enforcement agencies, which was initially outlined in Laws 2024, chapter 209, section 127, paragraph 1.
