The bill HB2372 proposes an appropriation of $800,000 for the remodeling of the Graham County Rehabilitation Center (GCRC) facilities located in both Safford and Willcox. This funding is part of the FY 2024 General Appropriations Act and aims to enhance the facilities to better serve individuals with disabilities. The bill also stipulates that this appropriation is exempt from lapsing provisions until June 30, 2025, ensuring that the funds remain available for use beyond the typical fiscal year constraints.

In contrast to the current law, which only allocated $800,000 for the Safford facility, the new bill explicitly includes the Willcox facility in the remodeling plans. Additionally, it clarifies that the appropriation will not lapse, providing a longer timeframe for the funds to be utilized effectively. This change reflects a broader commitment to improving services at both GCRC locations.
