appropriation; adult protective services

SB 1484 allocates $3,000,000 and 43 full-time staff positions from the state general fund for Arizona's Department of Economic Security to support its adult protective services program during fiscal year 2025-2026. This funding directly supports the department's efforts to investigate and respond to reports of abuse, neglect, or exploitation of vulnerable adults. The bill does not change program rules or eligibility but provides specific financial resources to maintain or expand existing services. It is a procedural funding measure with no substantive policy changes.
