HB 2386 Arizona House · 57th Legislature - First Regular Session

pay parity; law enforcement; benchmarks

HB 2386 establishes a "parity compensation fund" specifically for state law enforcement personnel to help recruit and retain officers. It requires the state to annually compare its law enforcement compensation (including base pay, bonuses, and retirement contributions) to the three largest county or municipal law enforcement agencies in Arizona, using these benchmarks to guide fund spending. The bill amends reporting requirements so all state agencies must include these compensation benchmarks in their annual personnel reports. This directly affects state law enforcement officers by creating a mechanism to align their pay with local peer agencies. The fund's monies are exempt from standard budget lapsing rules and must be used for salaries/benefits to enhance recruitment and retention.
