If enacted, this bill would update current statutes by appropriating $500,000 from the state General Fund for fiscal year 2026-2027 to the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) for a traffic and safety study on State Route 64, specifically from the City of Williams to the Grand Canyon. This appropriation is a new insertion into the law, aimed at enhancing transportation safety and efficiency in that area.
Additionally, the bill mandates that ADOT submit a report by December 31, 2026, detailing the findings of the study and any recommendations for improvements along State Route 64. This requirement for a report is also a new insertion, ensuring that the results of the study are communicated to key state officials, including the Governor, the President of the Senate, and the Speaker of the House of Representatives. Overall, the bill introduces specific funding and reporting requirements that are not present in the current law.
