The proposed bill would update current statutes by introducing new appropriations and project allocations for various state departments, particularly focusing on infrastructure improvements and maintenance. It would appropriate funds for major maintenance and repair activities for state buildings, including specific allocations for the Arizona Department of Administration and the Arizona Department of Corrections. Additionally, it would allocate funds for hatchery maintenance, dam repairs, and other infrastructure projects, while ensuring that certain appropriations are used exclusively for designated purposes.
Moreover, the bill would remove restrictions on the use of appropriated funds for personal services or overhead expenses and allow the Arizona Department of Administration to allocate funds for retrofitting facilities and require reductions in appropriations if the Capital Outlay Stabilization Fund lacks sufficient resources. It would also deem certain projects favorably reviewed by the Joint Committee on Capital Review and allow the Arizona Department of Administration to spend a portion of capital outlay appropriations for project management. Overall, these updates aim to streamline funding processes, enhance accountability, and ensure that state infrastructure projects are effectively managed and funded.
