ARIZONA HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 
Fifty-sixth Legislature 
First Regular Session 
 
 
HB2751: appropriation; DPS; uniform allowance 
Sponsor: Representative Peña, LD 23 
Committee on Military Affairs & Public Safety 
Overview 
Appropriates $657,800 from the state General Fund (GF) to the Department of Public Safety 
(DPS) in FY 2024 for increased uniform allowances.  
History 
In their FY 2024 Budget Request, DPS is requesting funds for their sworn uniform allowance and 
for three professional staff allowances; these allowances have not increased since FY 2006.  
General inflation has been about 52% since 2006, suggesting that an increase of about 50% is 
necessary to restore the purchasing power of the allowances.   
Provisions 
1. Appropriates $657,800 from the state GF to DPS in FY 2024 for increased uniform allowances 
for peace officers and professional staff members. (Sec. 1)
