This bill proposes several updates to current statutes regarding expenditure limitations in Arizona. It amends section 12-262 to clarify the presiding judge's authority in preparing plans for juvenile probation services, replacing the term "funds" with "monies" and specifying that these funds should primarily be used for paying salaries of probation officers. Additionally, it repeals section 15-911 entirely and modifies sections 15-1285, 17-266, 22-117, 41-563, 42-5010, and 42-5010.01 to reflect changes in the definitions and calculations related to expenditure limits, including adjustments to the base limits for political subdivisions and community college districts.

The bill also includes various deletions of outdated language, such as the removal of specific reporting requirements for school districts and the adjustment of expenditure limits based on population estimates. Notably, it establishes that the act will not take effect unless the Arizona Constitution is amended by a public vote, and it requires a supermajority approval from the legislature for certain sections to be effective. Overall, the bill aims to modernize and streamline the legal framework governing expenditure limitations while ensuring compliance with constitutional requirements.
