SB1743 is a bill that makes necessary changes to human services laws to implement the FY 2025 state budget in Arizona. The bill extends the use of monies in the Extended Foster Care Comprehensive Service Model Fund until June 30, 2025, and repeals the fund and related requirements on July 1, 2025, with any remaining funds being transferred to the state General Fund. It also accelerates the repeal of the Homeless Shelter and Services Fund from October 1, 2027, to July 1, 2025, with remaining funds also transferring to the state General Fund.

Additionally, the bill continues the requirement for the Department of Economic Security to screen and test adult recipients of Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) for illegal use of controlled substances in FY 2025. Recipients who test positive for controlled substances not prescribed by a licensed health care provider will be ineligible to receive TANF benefits for one year. The bill becomes effective on the general effective date.
