The bill SB1737 proposes amendments to capital outlay appropriations for fiscal year 2025, allocating $19 million from the Capital Outlay Stabilization Fund to the Arizona Department of Administration (ADOA) for major maintenance and repair activities across state buildings. It mandates ADOA to distribute these funds to state agencies for building renewal and allows for retrofitting related to space consolidation. The bill also prohibits the Arizona Department of Corrections from using these funds for personal services or overhead expenses, while introducing specific requirements for fund allocation, including a reduction clause if the Capital Outlay Stabilization Fund is insufficient.

Additionally, the bill appropriates $462,488,000 from the State Highway Fund to the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) for highway planning and construction, exempting this appropriation from Joint Committee on Capital Review oversight. It requires ADOT to report on highway construction expenses and includes reallocations for specific highway projects, notably reducing the appropriation for extending State Route 24 to Queen Creek from $87,500,000 to $59,800,000. The bill emphasizes transparency and accountability in funding management, with new reporting requirements and technical adjustments to ensure compliance with legislative intent.
