If enacted, this bill would update current statutes by appropriating $500,000 and five full-time equivalent (FTE) positions from the state General Fund for fiscal year 2025-2026 to the Secretary of State to support the Arizona America250 commission. This commission was established to plan and implement programs commemorating the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States and the contributions of Arizona citizens. The bill also includes a provision that exempts this appropriation from lapsing, ensuring that the allocated funds remain available for use beyond the fiscal year.

The new language introduced by the bill includes specific appropriations and exemptions that are not present in the current law. The bill would insert provisions detailing the appropriation amount and the exemption from lapsing, which are critical for the commission's operational funding and continuity. Overall, the bill aims to enhance the support for the Arizona America250 commission through financial and staffing resources.
