The bill SB1188 proposes a reduction of $10,000,000 from the appropriation to the Arizona Department of Gaming (ADG) for the fiscal year 2024. This reduction is to be implemented by transferring either $10,000,000 or the remaining unexpended and unencumbered funds from the ADG's appropriation to the state General Fund, whichever amount is less.

In contrast to the current law, which does not specify such a reduction or transfer, the new bill explicitly outlines the financial adjustments to be made to the ADG's budget and the corresponding transfer to the General Fund. The bill aims to streamline the funding allocated to the ADG while ensuring that any unspent funds are redirected to support the state's financial needs.
