The proposed bill amends several sections of the Arizona Revised Statutes related to expenditure limitations, including the repeal of section 15-911. Key changes include the requirement for the presiding judge of the superior court to submit plans for juvenile probation services to the state supreme court, with a focus on using funds primarily for paying probation officer salaries. The bill also modifies the economic estimates commission's role in adjusting county expenditure limits and clarifies the definitions and reporting requirements for political subdivisions and community college districts regarding their base limits and student populations.
Additionally, the bill introduces new language regarding the effective date, stipulating that it will not take effect unless the Arizona Constitution is amended by a public vote. It also requires a three-fourths majority approval from both houses of the legislature for the sections amended by this act to be effective. Overall, the bill aims to streamline and clarify the processes surrounding expenditure limitations while ensuring that any changes are subject to legislative and public approval.
