The proposed bill, if enacted, would update current statutes by appropriating $1,300,000 from the state General Fund for fiscal year 2025-2026 specifically for the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) to distribute to Yuma County for a bridge replacement project on Somerton Avenue. The bill includes new language that specifies the location of the project as being between West County 10th Street and West County 11th Street, which is an addition to the existing statute.

Additionally, the bill modifies the existing requirement for Yuma County to demonstrate a commitment for matching funds. The current law states that Yuma County must show a commitment for matching monies of at least $200,000 from sources other than the state. The new language clarifies that this commitment must be in the form of gifts, grants, and donations, ensuring that the county's financial backing is sourced externally. Overall, the bill aims to enhance the funding structure and accountability for the bridge replacement project while maintaining the core requirements of the existing law.
