SB1132 (Vetoed by Governor 5/8/07)
Harper - homeland security force
SB 1132 is legislation that would accomplish the same essential purpose as SCR 1006 without going to the ballot. The proposal would create the Homeland Security Force (HSF) and the Homeland Security Committee, along with rules and procedures to govern the HSF. It appropriates $10,000 from the state General Fund in FY 2007-2008 to the Governor for administration of the HSF. The committee would direct and regulate a “homeland security force” consisting of citizen volunteers that are subject to training and not subject to federal active duty.
AzCDL strongly supports this bill.
FINAL DISPOSITION: Vetoed by Governor 5/8/07.
