The proposed bill, H.B. 2949, seeks to update current statutes concerning capital outlay appropriations for fiscal year 2026 by introducing specific appropriations for various state agencies, including $19 million for the Arizona Department of Administration (ADOA) for major maintenance and repair activities, and mandates ADOA to allocate these funds for building renewal and retrofitting projects. The bill also details individual capital projects and their funding sources, including allocations for fire safety system replacements and dam maintenance, while streamlining the funding process for capital projects. Additionally, the bill introduces new appropriations for infrastructure projects, such as $500,000 for a traffic light in Flagstaff and $6,000,000 for the Woolford Road extension in Show Low, and mandates distribution of these funds by November 1, 2025. It also allocates $458,770,000 from the State Highway Fund to the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) for various highway-related expenses and exempts this appropriation from Joint Committee on Capital Review (JCCR) oversight. Furthermore, the bill exempts certain appropriations from lapsing until June 30, 2027, and includes provisions for project management expenditures while prohibiting personal services or maintenance contracts without legislative review. Overall, these updates aim to enhance infrastructure efficiency and ensure fiscal accountability in the management of state projects.
