If enacted, this bill would update current statutes by allowing counties with populations under 250,000 to meet fiscal obligations from any designated county revenue source, including funds from special taxing jurisdictions, while capping the amount used for purposes outside the intended revenue source at $1,250,000. Additionally, it would require these counties to report by October 1, 2025, on whether they utilized revenue sources for unintended purposes and specify the revenue sources and amounts intended for use in the fiscal year 2025-2026.
Furthermore, the bill would permit Gila County to utilize funds appropriated for a veterans retreat to establish and operate facilities providing services to veterans. These updates aim to facilitate local government operations and ensure accountability in the use of county revenues. The provisions would take effect on the general effective date.
