If enacted, this bill would update current statutes by appropriating $3,000,000 from the state General Fund for fiscal year 2026-2027 specifically for the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT). This funding is designated for distribution to the City of Flagstaff to facilitate the design and construction of improvements along U.S. Route 66, particularly between Interstate 40 and Milton Road.

Additionally, the bill mandates that ADOT must enter into an intergovernmental agreement with Flagstaff by September 15, 2026, to outline the specifics of the improvements. Should Flagstaff agree to this intergovernmental arrangement, the appropriated funds must be distributed to the city by November 1, 2026. These provisions represent new legal language that would be inserted into the current statutes, enhancing the existing framework governing transportation funding and project management.
