appropriation; major incident task forces
HB 2418 allocates $600,000 from Arizona's state general fund for fiscal year 2026-2027 to the Arizona Criminal Justice Commission. The commission must distribute this funding evenly to the five existing major incident task forces as of the bill's effective date. This funding supports these task forces' operations but does not create new policies or change eligibility for assistance.

MINOR
The bill was amended to specify exactly which five counties (Cochise, Coconino, Navajo, Pinal, and Yuma) receive the funding, replacing a vague reference to task forces simply being 'in existence.' Additionally, a new provision was added to redirect $600,000 from a previous 2025 appropriation to the same five counties, ensuring those specific jurisdictions receive the funds.
Scope change
The scope of the bill was narrowed by explicitly listing the five eligible counties, whereas the original version applied to any task forces existing at the time without naming specific locations.
ELIGIBILITY
Changed the distribution criteria from any existing task forces to specifically the five task forces located in Cochise, Coconino, Navajo, Pinal, and Yuma counties.
FISCAL
Added a new clause directing $600,000 from a prior 2025 appropriation to be distributed evenly to the same five counties.
