appropriations; victims of crime; services

This bill allocates $2.25 million to the Arizona Criminal Justice Commission, $9.1 million to the Department of Economic Security, and $9.3 million to the Department of Public Safety from the state general fund for fiscal year 2025-2026. The funds are specifically designated to backfill services previously supported by federal Victims of Crime Act (VOCA) funds, ensuring continuity for existing victim services programs. It directly affects state agencies providing crime victim assistance, maintaining current service levels without creating new programs or changing eligibility. The bill focuses solely on financial reallocation to sustain existing victim support services funded under the 2021 VOCA fix.
