This bill proposes to update current statutes by appropriating $7,000,000 from the state general fund to the University of Arizona for infrastructure and vehicle upgrades aimed at enhancing campus safety during the fiscal year 2025-2026. This new funding is intended to support improvements that will directly benefit the university community.
Additionally, the bill includes a provision that exempts this appropriation from the lapsing provisions outlined in section 35-190 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, ensuring that the allocated funds do not expire at the end of the fiscal year. This change aims to provide the university with greater financial stability and flexibility in utilizing the funds for the intended safety enhancements.
