The bill provides exemptions if a state agency has no reasonable option to procure specific goods or if failure to procure particular goods would pose a greater threat to the state than the stated threat associated with procuring from a company domiciled in China. The Senate amendment exempts the Arizona Department of Public Safety from the restriction.

The Senate amendment clarifies that the court’s authority applies only to digital assets owned by a convicted person and used in, traceable to, or acquired through the commission of an offense. The amendment also specifies that proceeds from the sale of seized digital assets would be deposited into the Anti-Racketeering Revolving Fund rather than into a fund administered directly for the attorney general.

Israel (member) summarized the bill and said the sponsor had not yet indicated whether they would concur with the Senate amendment. Members asked questions about how the new fund would be administered and the current practice for seized funds; Israel said the new Bitcoin and digital assets reserve fund would be administered by the state treasurer while proceeds would flow into a new fund structure rather than directly to the attorney general, and he said he would obtain further information on current practice.

Representative Sandoval asked whether proceeds would go to the treasurer’s office; Israel said the Bitcoin and digital assets reserve fund is a newly created fund and clarified that forfeiture proceeds related to digital assets would be placed into that fund. Representative Aguilar said the attorney general’s office has been seizing and using such funds and that another actor (Whittaker) is attempting to redirect those funds to the treasurer’s office; the transcript records a recommendation to take detailed follow-up outside caucus to clarify.","House Bill 2324 would allow courts to forfeit digital assets owned by convicted persons when tied to crimes and would create a Bitcoin and digital assets reserve fund.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6190512,"Bill would direct DPS to set compensation benchmarks and protect paid compensation fund from lapsing",46,144000,190000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5049021-72569446233a0a9c34eaa88d46a56e39&start=144&end=190","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5049021-72569446233a0a9c34eaa88d46a56e39/thumbnail_144000.jpg","/articles/6190512/Arizona/Bill-would-direct-DPS-to-set-compensation-benchmarks-and-protect-paid-compensation-fund-from-lapsing","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6190512-42a35b4f61cfcc853da2ba113869c040/orig.mp4?Expires=1771172183&Signature=IKyvH72jcKt9KZPGLb~lmbOCnTaSTCz7zuylKjBxp3i7GuZBr9BCB1YBFqMlD3i-cIk4GllbLrSTQ~SP2K52pU6kBlgwQvkXvMPbN~04NA0TuZ~XAD-rtieLemorotuMonqb6GGl8WO8szBtXFYYxKBbRVHvKkxgYJlyYgy1O~on3DCcUEKmB6ZInJGQscxwaZtZovW3tgiZyialE78-SK34SyGkOJ1gMJBtHK9BnJElXRwi-LsA8ZxpCAFV8f1h85Dkx~vGBrhyDCkv2Bdg5R7TjhAVEWdkCtRn417lO-aQKWBaa1C2Ank1wutcuHzgluuN0DeK4u3ANfq5C~4gKg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","House Bill 2386, as described in the caucus briefing, directs the Arizona Department of Public Safety (DPS) to establish compensation benchmarks for use of the paid compensation fund to improve recruitment and retention of qualified law enforcement officers.

The Senate amendment reinstates language requiring DPS to consider state revenues and state employee adjustments when administering the fund, and it preserves that the fund’s monies do not revert to the state general fund, are exempt from lapsing, and remain subject to legislative appropriation. Israel (member) presented the bill summary and said the sponsor intends to concur with the Senate amendment.

Caucus members did not record substantive debate or a vote during the briefing. The transcript records the bill summary and the sponsor’s reported intent to concur, but no formal action was taken within the caucus meeting.
