HB 2778 Arizona House · 56th Legislature - Second Regular Session

technical correction; witness protection

This bill corrects a technical error in the Arizona Revised Statutes regarding the state's witness protection program. It clarifies that the director of the Department of Public Safety, with the attorney general's approval, can provide security, housing, and other support to witnesses and their families in criminal or civil cases where they face danger. The legislation also allows the state to contract with other government entities for these services and permits the cost of protection to be reimbursed by the witness's government if applicable. Additionally, it confirms that funds from the anti-racketeering revolving fund can be used to finance witness protection efforts.
