SCR 1033 Arizona Senate · 57th Legislature - Second Regular Session

state retirement systems; digital assets

SCR 1033 is a resolution urging Arizona's state retirement systems to evaluate potential investments in Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs). It directs the Arizona State Retirement System and Public Safety Personnel Retirement System to monitor Bitcoin ETF developments, consult with SEC-approved firms, and submit a report on risks, benefits, and implementation options to state officials before the next legislative session. The resolution does not authorize investment but requires a formal assessment of digital asset opportunities for these retirement funds, which manage billions in member assets. This applies specifically to Arizona's public retirement systems, not private or federal funds.
