If this bill were to become law, it 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, established in 2022, is responsible for planning and implementing programs to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States and the contributions of Arizona citizens.

Additionally, the bill would exempt this appropriation from the provisions of Arizona Revised Statutes section 35-190, which typically relates to the lapsing of appropriations. This means that the allocated funds would not expire at the end of the fiscal year, allowing for continued use in subsequent years if necessary. Overall, the bill aims to provide financial support and stability for the commission's activities.
