The resolution SCR1042 authorizes school districts in Arizona to exceed the aggregate expenditure limitation (AEL) for the fiscal year 2026-2027. The AEL, established by the Arizona Constitution, restricts local revenue expenditures for school districts to a level based on FY 1980 spending, adjusted for inflation and enrollment, plus an additional 10%. This resolution allows school districts to utilize local revenues beyond this limit, provided it receives approval from at least two-thirds of the members in both the Senate and the House of Representatives.

The resolution is significant as it addresses the financial constraints imposed by the AEL, enabling school districts to allocate more resources to meet their operational needs. There is no anticipated fiscal impact on the state General Fund associated with this legislation, indicating that the measure is designed to provide flexibility for local school funding without burdening state finances. The resolution will take effect only upon the required legislative approval, ensuring that it is a collaborative decision made by the state's lawmakers.
