The bill SB1745 introduces provisions for local governments in Arizona for the fiscal year 2024-2025, specifically targeting counties with populations under 250,000. It allows these counties to meet fiscal obligations from any designated revenue source, including funds from countywide special taxing jurisdictions, while capping the amount that can be used for purposes outside the intended revenue source at $1,250,000. Additionally, it mandates that by October 1, 2024, these counties must report to the Joint Legislative Budget Committee on their use of revenue sources for non-intended purposes and specify the revenue sources and amounts planned for the upcoming fiscal year.

This bill modifies existing law by updating the fiscal year reference from 2025 to 2024-2025 and clarifying the reporting requirements for counties. The new language emphasizes the need for accountability in the use of county revenues and ensures that counties provide detailed information on their fiscal practices, which was not explicitly required in the previous law.
