appropriation; crime victim notification fund
SB 1673 allocates $5 million from Arizona's state general fund for fiscal year 2026-2027 to the existing law enforcement crime victim notification program under Arizona Revised Statutes §41-2414. This funding directly supports state and local law enforcement agencies that provide notification services to crime victims. The bill specifies that this appropriation is exempt from standard budget lapse rules, ensuring the funds remain available for the designated purpose. As a purely financial measure, it does not change eligibility for victim notifications or create new requirements.
