The bill SB1732 focuses on implementing changes necessary for the FY 2024 state budget in Arizona. It mandates that any unrestricted federal funds received in FY 2024 be deposited into the state General Fund to support essential governmental services. Additionally, it clarifies that the Legislature is not obligated to allocate or transfer funds from the Budget Stabilization Fund for the fiscal years 2024, 2025, and 2026. The bill also continues to suspend the cap on the Budget Stabilization Fund, which is set at 10% of the state General Fund revenue, and prohibits the transfer of surplus funds from this stabilization fund to the General Fund.

The new bill language introduces specific provisions regarding the appropriation of funds and the implementation of budgetary revisions, which were not explicitly stated in the current law. It emphasizes the necessity of these changes to effectively manage the state budget while ensuring that essential services are funded. The bill is designed to take effect on the general effective date, with retroactive provisions to July 1, 2023, ensuring that the changes are applicable from the start of the fiscal year.
