The proposed bill, if enacted, would amend current statutes by appropriating specific amounts from various funds to named claimants for the fiscal year 2026. The bill introduces new language that specifies the amounts to be appropriated, the sources of these funds, and the claimants who will receive payments. For instance, it includes appropriations from the state General Fund, the Special Employee Health Insurance Trust Fund, the Risk Management Revolving Fund, and others, detailing the exact amounts allocated to each agency and claimant.
Additionally, the bill mandates that the Arizona Department of Administration (ADOA) coordinate the payments to the named claimants, ensuring that the appropriated funds are distributed as specified. The bill also clarifies that the payments made under this section will fully satisfy the claims described, thereby updating the current legal framework governing the payment of claims against the state. Overall, the bill aims to streamline the process of appropriating funds for claims while providing clear guidelines for the distribution of these funds.
