ARIZONA STATE SENATE
Fifty-Seventh Legislature, Second Regular Session
VETOED
FACT SHEET FOR h.B. 4150/S.b. 1843
management; state properties; 2026-2027.
Purpose
Makes session law changes relating to the management of state properties 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.
H.B. 4150 contains the budget reconciliation provisions for changes relating to state properties.
Provisions
1. 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 2027.
2. Becomes effective on the general effective date.
Governor's Veto Message
The Governor indicates in her veto message that H.B. 4150, and this version of the FY 2027 state budget as a whole, would cause Arizona to default on its debt obligations, endanger vulnerable children, cut public safety funding and provide tax breaks for billionaires, data centers and special interests. The Governor outlines her specific concerns, including cuts to funding for specified agencies and programs, and invites the Legislature to return to the negotiating table.
