If enacted, this bill would amend current statutes regarding the State Lottery Fund by adding a provision that mandates the deposit of $50,000,000 into the On-Farm Irrigation Efficiency Fund for fiscal years 2026 and 2027. This new language would be inserted as subsection g in section 5-572 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, which outlines the distribution of funds from the State Lottery Fund. The bill also makes conforming changes to the existing subsections of the statute.
Additionally, the bill would delete the existing subsection G and replace it with a new subsection h, which clarifies that all remaining funds in the State Lottery Fund after specified appropriations will be directed to the state general fund. Other subsections, including those related to legislative appropriation and quarterly transfers of funds, would be renumbered accordingly, ensuring the statute remains coherent and organized.
