ARIZONA STATE SENATE
Fifty-Seventh Legislature, Second Regular Session
2026-2027; commerce
Purpose
Makes statutory and session law changes relating to commerce necessary to implement the FY 2027 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. 1835 contains the budget reconciliation provisions for changes relating to commerce.
Provisions
1. Eliminates the annual State Lottery Fund allocation to the Arizona Competes Fund.
2. Makes conforming changes.
3. Becomes effective on the general effective date.
