Overview
Contains provisions relating to local government needed to implement the FY 2026 budget.
History
The Arizona Legislature adopts a budget for each fiscal year (FY) that contains general appropriations. Article IV, Section 20, Part 2 of the Constitution of Arizona requires the General Appropriations Act (feed bill) to contain only appropriations for the different state departments, state institutions, public schools and interest on public debt. Statutory changes necessary to reconcile the appropriations made in the feed bill and other changes are drafted into separate budget bills. These bills are prepared according to subject area.

(Sec. 1)
2. Clarifies that a county with a population of fewer than 250,000 persons cannot use more than $1,250,000 for purposes other than the purposes of the revenue source. (Sec. 1)
