Bill Summary

AN ACT Amending sections 12-114, 12-116.10 and 41-1731, Arizona Revised Statutes; repealing section 41-1732, Arizona Revised Statutes; relating to Peace officer training equipment.

AI Summary

This bill amends existing Arizona law to rename the "peace officer training equipment fund" to the "public safety de-escalation and life safety fund" and repeals a related section of law. Specifically, it changes how a $9 surcharge collected from individuals attending court-authorized diversion programs for traffic offenses is distributed, with $5 going to the judicial collection enhancement fund and $4 now going to the newly named public safety de-escalation and life safety fund. Additionally, a $4 penalty assessment on civil traffic violations and fines for motor vehicle offenses will also be deposited into this same public safety fund. The purpose of this fund, as stated in the bill, is for peace officer equipment, but the name change suggests a broader focus on de-escalation and life safety initiatives for public safety personnel.
