Overview
Contains provisions relating to local government needed to implement the FY 2027 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.
Provisions
1. Authorizes a county with a population of fewer than 250,000 individuals according to the 2020 US Census to meet any county fiscal obligation from any source of county revenue in FY 2027, including monies of countywide special taxing jurisdictions for which the Board of Supervisors serves as the board of directors. (Sec. 1)
2. Limits a county with a population of fewer than 250,000 individuals to using no more than $1,250,000 for purposes other than the purposes of the revenue source. (Sec. 1)
3. Instructs each county with a population of fewer than 250,000 individuals, by October 1, 2026, to report to the director of the Joint Legislative Budget Committee:
a. whether the county used a revenue source for purposes other than the purposes of the revenue source to meet a county fiscal obligation; and
b. if so, the specific revenue source and amount of revenues the county intends to use in FY 2027. (Sec. 1)
