If enacted, this bill would update current statutes by appropriating $900,000 from the state General Fund for the fiscal year 2025-2026 specifically for the State Mine Inspector. This funding is designated for mine safety measures and the acquisition and upgrades of software databases. Additionally, the bill stipulates that this appropriation is exempt from the provisions of Arizona Revised Statutes section 35-190, which typically governs the lapsing of appropriations, ensuring that the funds do not expire at the end of the fiscal year.

Furthermore, the bill expresses the legislature's intent for $100,000 of the appropriated amount to be considered ongoing funding in future years. This change aims to enhance the resources available for mine safety oversight and technological improvements within the State Mine Inspector's office, thereby potentially improving safety measures in the mining industry.
