This bill proposes to amend section 15-209 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, specifically updating the language regarding the disbursement of funds to school districts. The current law states that the state board of education directs the department of administration to draw a warrant for the apportioned amount, which the state treasurer pays upon presentation. The bill removes the term "division of finance" from the current statute, streamlining the language to simply refer to the department of administration.

Additionally, the bill clarifies the process for depositing and disbursing the apportioned funds. It specifies that the school district must deposit the monies with the county treasurer, who will then place the funds in the appropriate account for the district. The language is updated to replace the vague reference to "it" with "the monies," ensuring clarity in the statute. Overall, the bill aims to modernize and clarify the existing legal framework governing the financial operations of school districts in Arizona.
