The bill SB1743 amends existing laws related to human services in Arizona, primarily focusing on budget reconciliation for the fiscal year 2025. Key changes include allowing the Extended Foster Care Comprehensive Service Model Fund to remain active until June 30, 2025, and the repeal of this fund along with its requirements after that date, directing any remaining funds to the state General Fund. Additionally, the bill accelerates the repeal of the Homeless Shelter and Services Fund from October 1, 2027, to July 1, 2025, also transferring any unspent funds to the General Fund.

Furthermore, the bill mandates that the Department of Economic Security (DES) continue to screen and test adult recipients of Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) cash benefits for illegal substance use, with a one-year ineligibility period for those who test positive for non-prescribed controlled substances. The bill also includes provisions for reporting requirements and establishes timelines for the implementation of these changes, ensuring that the necessary adjustments to human services are made in alignment with the state budget.
