ARIZONA STATE SENATE
Fifty-Seventh Legislature, First Regular Session
AMENDED
management; state buildings; 2025-2026
(NOW: management; state properties; 2025-2026)
Purpose
Makes statutory and session law changes relating to the management of state buildings necessary to implement the FY 2026 state budget.
Background
The Arizona Constitution prohibits substantive law from being included in the general appropriations, capital outlay appropriations and supplemental appropriations bills. However, it is often necessary to make statutory and session law changes to effectuate the budget. Thus, separate bills called budget reconciliation bills (BRBs) are introduced to enact these provisions. Because BRBs contain substantive law changes, the Arizona Constitution provides that they become effective on the general effective date, unless an emergency clause is enacted.
S.B. 1746 contains the budget reconciliation provisions for changes relating to state buildings.
Provisions
1. Replaces the requirement that the Arizona Department of Administration (ADOA) report a proposed rental fee exemption to the Joint Legislative Budget Committee (JLBC) Staff before authorizing the rental fee exemption with the requirement that ADOA, by June 30 of each year, submit a report to JLBC Staff that details all rental fee exemptions authorized in the prior year.
2. Continues
to set the Capital Outlay Stabilization Fund square-footage rental rates for
state-owned buildings at $17.87 for office space and $6.43 for storage space in
FY 2026.
3. Amends Laws 2025, Chapter 35, Section 1 to correct the boundary of the state sovereign land transferred from the Arizona State Land Department to Bullhead City.
4. Becomes effective on the general effective date.
Amendments Adopted by Committee of the Whole
· Corrects the boundary of the state sovereign land transferred from the Arizona State Land Department to Bullhead City.
