The bill SB1176 proposes an appropriation of $250,000 from the state General Fund to the Arizona Trail Fund for the fiscal year 2024-2025. This funding is intended to support the maintenance and preservation of the Arizona Trail, a scenic trail that spans approximately 800 miles across the state. Additionally, the bill includes a provision that exempts this appropriation from lapsing, ensuring that the allocated funds remain available for their intended purpose without being subject to the usual expiration of appropriations.

In summary, the key changes introduced by this bill include the specific appropriation amount of $250,000 and the exemption from lapsing provisions, which are not explicitly stated in the current law. The bill aims to secure financial support for the Arizona Trail Fund, which is managed by the Arizona State Parks Board and relies on both legislative appropriations and donations for its operations.
