The bill SB1134 appropriates funds from various sources to named claimants for the fiscal year 2023. It allocates a total of $169,995.69 from the state General Fund and an additional $57,408.72 from other funds to cover claims against the state. Specific appropriations include amounts for the Arizona Department of Corrections, the Arizona Department of Transportation, and various boards and commissions, such as the Acupuncture Board of Examiners and the Board of Optometry.
The new bill language introduces a formal title, "An Act appropriating monies for the relief of named claimants," and specifies the purpose of the appropriations. It also requires the Arizona Department of Administration (ADOA) to coordinate the payment of these claims, ensuring a structured approach to managing the disbursement of funds to the claimants.
