SB 1541 Arizona Senate · 57th Legislature - Second Regular Session

budget stabilization fund; public safety salaries

SB 1541 allows Arizona's Department of Corrections and Department of Public Safety to use funds from the state's Budget Stabilization Fund for 10% salary increases for their employees and sworn officers during fiscal years when the state general fund has no surplus. It specifies that the departments may draw up to a set amount (blanked in the text) from the fund for this purpose each qualifying year. The bill expires on June 30, 2029, ending this funding mechanism after that date. This directly affects state correctional and public safety personnel by providing a potential salary boost under specific budget conditions.
