The proposed bill seeks to update current statutes primarily through new appropriations and modifications to existing funding allocations across various state departments. Key insertions include appropriating funds for specific initiatives, such as $40,000,000 for opioid-related expenditures, $2,291,600 for Fire Incident Management grants, and $6,000,000 for the Community College Adult Education Workforce Development Program Fund. Additionally, the bill mandates that certain appropriations, like those for health care interoperability grants, are exempt from lapsing provisions until specified dates, ensuring that funds remain available for their intended purposes. The bill also introduces new reporting requirements for various departments, enhancing transparency and accountability in the management of state resources.
Conversely, the bill includes deletions of outdated language and provisions that are no longer applicable, streamlining the appropriations process. For instance, it removes specific allocations, such as $450,000 to the Prescott Valley Police Department, and reverts funds from the Erroneous Convictions Fund back to the state General Fund if related legislation does not pass. Overall, these updates aim to enhance the efficiency of budgetary allocations while ensuring compliance with statutory requirements and improving the management of state funds across multiple departments.
