Summary of the Strike-Everything Amendment to SB 1638
Overview
Entitled the Pacific Conflict Stress Test Act, establishes the bipartisan select committee on Pacific conflict (Committee), including prescribing the membership, powers, duties and other parameters related to the Committee, and imposes related assessment and audit requirements.
Current law requires the Department of Public Safety (DPS) to coordinate the critical infrastructure information program that uses state of the art technologies and that is implemented based on the state-wide assessment of threat and vulnerability conducted by the Arizona Counterterrorism Information Center (ACTIC) under DPS oversight. Statute instructs DPS to implement the technologies to address as many critical infrastructure facilities in the state of Arizona as funding allows and only to the extent that agreements accepting the Program are reached between participating entities, including private sector participants. DPS is permitted to pursue federal monies to assist with funding the Program (A.R.S. § 41-1802).
Additionally, DPS coordinates the critical infrastructure information program that is implemented based on the statewide assessment of threat and vulnerability by ACTIC. DPS must implement state of the art technologies to address as many critical infrastructure facilities in Arizona as funding allows (A.R.S. § 41-1803).
