HB 2505 repeals specific Arizona law enforcement funding mechanisms and related provisions. It eliminates a $13 assessment on fines and penalties that previously funded the "gang and immigration intelligence team enforcement mission" (repealing Section 12-116.04) and removes sections defining smuggling penalties (repealing Sections 13-2928 and 13-2929). The bill also amends the smuggling statute to clarify definitions, including "family member" and "procurement of transportation," while maintaining penalties for smuggling humans under 18 or involving weapons. These changes directly affect law enforcement funding streams and the legal framework for prosecuting human smuggling cases.
