This bill proposes to update current statutes by appropriating $5,000,000 from the state general fund to the department of child safety for the healthy families program for each of the fiscal years 2025-2026, 2026-2027, and 2027-2028. This funding aims to support the program established under section 8-481 of the Arizona Revised Statutes.
Additionally, the bill expresses the legislature's intent for these appropriations to be regarded as ongoing funding in future years, thereby establishing a commitment to the financial support of the healthy families program beyond the specified fiscal years. There are no deletions or changes to existing statutes outside of these new appropriations and intentions.
