Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
9 provisions identified: 5 benefits, 1 costs, 3 mixed.
Arizona public safety department ends
The Arizona Department of Public Safety ends on July 1, 2030. Related laws are repealed on January 1, 2031. The law does not say how the department’s services will continue.
More retirement funding for public employees
For participants in one covered class, the employer contribution rises from 5% to 5.5% of gross pensionable pay. The increase adds 0.5% of that pay to retirement-plan funding.
Fentanyl enforcement fund lasts longer
The fentanyl prosecution, testing, and diversion fund remains available until after June 30, 2027. It reimburses certain costs on a first-come, first-served basis. Testing and diversion reimbursements go to Arizona law enforcement agencies. One specified offense qualifies only when it does not involve transferring or offering to transfer fentanyl.
More funding for child crime investigations
The Attorney General may use up to $335,000 each year from a consumer fraud fund to continue a task force. The task force helps law enforcement investigate, examine evidence, and prosecute internet crimes against children.
State aid for county dependency cases
The Arizona Criminal Justice Commission distributes aid to counties based on each county’s share of juvenile dependency filings. A county may receive no more than $250,000 per fiscal year. Any amount above that cap is redistributed among other counties.
State reimburses counties for corrections cases
For qualifying cases, the Department of Corrections pays approved county claims from its appropriation. The costs must involve a person arrested in Arizona for a crime linked to a corrections facility, escape, or department custody. Claims must follow an existing agreement and include itemized costs.
Legal support in child dependency cases
The court administration office establishes a program to review training, recommend legal practice standards and compensation, audit lawyers, and measure their work. The program reports each year by June 30. The law repeals the program section after June 29, 2028.
Anti-racketeering money stays dedicated
Anti-racketeering fund money does not lapse or move to the state general fund. The Attorney General must use it only for purposes allowed by law. The Attorney General’s Office can keep using the fund for staff salaries until the restriction begins after August 27, 2027; that restriction was delayed from August 27, 2025. The amended law applies back to August 27, 2025.
Prior law reaches back to June 2025
The law applies a prior enactment, as amended, to the period beginning June 30, 2025. The supplied text does not explain what that law requires or who it affects.
