In one paragraph

Arizona HB 2482 (Laws 2023, ch. 154) moves the law enforcement crime victim notification fund to A.R.S. 41-2414 and puts it under the Arizona Criminal Justice Commission, which must use it to expand the state's automated crime victim notification system. The funded software must, among other things, "allow victims to leverage conversational artificial intelligence for bidirectional real-time communication with law enforcement agencies through voice, text messages and emails," with a virtual agent that answers and asks questions based on the victim's questions and responses. The act also set up a temporary sexual assault kit study committee. Approved May 19, 2023.
