HB2757 proposes an appropriation of an unspecified amount of funds from the state General Fund in fiscal year 2025 to the Arizona Department of Education (ADE). These funds are to be distributed to the Arizona Holocaust Education Center for its creation and operation. The Center will serve as a resource to fulfill the statutory requirement that students in grades 7 through 12 are taught about the Holocaust and other genocides at least twice during their education.
The bill also includes a provision that exempts this appropriation from lapsing, meaning the funds will remain available beyond the typical expiration period for unused appropriations. The bill is set to become effective on the general effective date.
