appropriation; dementia awareness

Arizona's SB 1210 allocates $750,000 from the state general fund for fiscal year 2025-2026 to the Department of Health Services to fund a public education campaign about Alzheimer's disease and dementia. The funding must be distributed to a nonprofit organization with specific qualifications, including operating a 24/7 toll-free hotline with interpreter services, providing care support, and having experience in public awareness campaigns. The campaign specifically targets rural and underserved urban communities across Arizona to increase awareness of dementia signs, symptoms, and available resources. The Department of Health Services must report on the campaign's impact to state leaders by November 1, 2026.
