Senate Bill 1176 proposes an appropriation of $250,000 from the state General Fund to the Arizona Trail Fund for the fiscal year 2025. The bill also includes a provision that exempts this appropriation from lapsing, meaning the funds would remain available beyond the typical expiration period for unused appropriations.

The Arizona Trail Fund, which is used for maintaining and preserving the Arizona Trail, is managed by the Arizona State Parks Board and is funded through legislative appropriations and donations. The bill aims to support the trail, which spans approximately 800 miles across Arizona and honors U.S. Congressman Bob Stump's contributions to the state's trails and people.
