2025 Regular Session Introduced by Jennifer Boysko and 2 co-sponsors

SB 1147 provides one-time general-fund money to AZ Dept of Administration to expand a law-enforcement data-sharing/records pilot, enabling more agencies to join.

Left in Courts of Justice

Purpose / intent

SB 1147 appropriates state general fund monies to the Arizona Department of Administration to expand participation in a law‑enforcement data‑sharing software pilot established by Laws 2024, chapter 209, section 127, paragraph 1. The intent is to fund additional city, county, campus, and state law‑enforcement agencies so they can join or expand use of the pilot records‑management/data‑sharing system.

Key provisions

Appropriates specific, one‑time FY 2025–2026 amounts (listed below) from the state general fund to the Department of Administration for distribution to named agencies to support participation in the pilot.

Makes those appropriations exempt from A.R.S. § 35‑190 (the normal lapsing/reversion of unexpended appropriations), so the funds do not lapse at fiscal year end.

Agencies and amounts (Senate Engrossed version)

The bill lists 37 recipients and dollar amounts. Major allocations include:
- Department of Public Safety: $574,000
- Pinal County Sheriff’s Office: $600,000
- Phoenix Police Department: $343,000
- Tucson Police Department: $237,620
- Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office: $220,000
Smaller and mid‑sized municipal, county, and university police agencies receive amounts ranging from ~$44,200 to ~$131,345.
Total listed in the Senate Engrossed version: $4,582,575.

(Note: the Introduced version contains a slightly different recipient list — e.g., Salt River PD and Santa Cruz County Sheriff appear in that list — but the substantive purpose and structure are the same.)

Who is affected

Directly: the named municipal police departments, county sheriff’s offices, university police departments, and the Arizona Department of Public Safety, which will receive funding to implement or expand use of the pilot data‑sharing/records management software.

Indirectly: other law enforcement agencies and the public may be affected through improved interagency data sharing, records management, investigative coordination, and potentially operational workflows that result from wider pilot adoption.

Procedural / timeline notes

Introduced: February 6, 2025.

Current document status (provided): “Rule 3‑9(a) / Re‑referred to Assignments.”

The bill exists as both an Introduced and a Senate Engrossed version; amounts and recipients differ slightly between versions.

The file provided also includes unrelated or mixed content (text and legislative actions from other jurisdictions, including an Illinois bill record). The summary above isolates the Arizona SB 1147 appropriations content.

If you want, I can:
- Provide a side‑by‑side comparison of the Introduced vs. Engrossed recipient lists and dollar differences, or
- Draft a short plain‑language explainer on what participation in the pilot likely requires (technical onboarding, training, recurring costs not covered by this one‑time appropriation).
