Bill Summary
AN ACT Amending section 41-192, Arizona Revised Statutes; appropriating monies; RELATING to the attorney general.
AI Summary
This bill amends existing Arizona law to grant the Department of Public Safety (DPS) an exemption from the general rule that only the Attorney General's office can employ legal counsel for state agencies. This means DPS will now be able to hire its own attorneys. Additionally, the bill appropriates $6,400,000 from the consumer protection-consumer fraud revolving fund to the Department of Public Safety for fiscal year 2025-2026, specifically for a "gang and immigration intelligence team enforcement mission fund." The term "appropriating monies" refers to allocating funds for a specific purpose.
