Bill Summary

AN ACT Appropriating monies to the department of administration.

AI Summary

This bill appropriates funds from the state general fund for the fiscal year 2026-2027 to the department of administration, which will then distribute these monies to various law enforcement agencies across Arizona. The purpose of these funds is to expand a pilot program aimed at connecting the records management systems, which are databases used by law enforcement to store and retrieve information about cases and individuals, with computer-aided dispatch (CAD) systems, which are used to manage emergency calls and dispatch officers. This expansion builds upon a previous law enacted in 2024. Importantly, the appropriations made under this bill are exempt from a state law that typically causes unspent funds to expire at the end of the fiscal year, meaning the money can be used beyond fiscal year 2026-2027 if needed for the program.
