  • Establishes a coordinated reentry planning services grant program to distribute funds to county sheriffs for jail reentry programs under Arizona Revised Statutes section 11-392.

  • Allocates $20,000,000 annually from the consumer restitution and remediation revolving fund, distributed through two-year grant cycles with varying amounts by county size ($500,000 to $1,200,000 per year) and $1,100,000 for statewide database infrastructure.

  • Requires grantees to report two years after receiving initial grant, including data on inmate mental health and substance use disorder risk levels, recidivism rates, and percentage of released individuals connected to behavioral health and housing services.

  • Mandates grantees establish a formal coalition with dedicated staff, install a statewide recidivism tracking database, create data sharing agreements, and implement screening tools by end of grant cycle.

  • Specifies grants supplement rather than replace existing local funding for reentry programs, with unused annual funds available for reallocation to other grantees.
