If enacted, this bill would amend current statutes by adding a new section, 46-232, to title 46, chapter 2, article 2 of the Arizona Revised Statutes. The new section would appropriate $1,000,000 from the state general fund for fiscal year 2026-2027 and each subsequent fiscal year to the Department of Economic Security (DES) for the implementation of the Produce Incentive Program, which is established under section 46-231.

Additionally, the bill includes a provision that exempts this appropriation from the lapsing provisions outlined in section 35-190, ensuring that the allocated funds remain available for use in future fiscal years. The current law remains unchanged, with the new language serving to enhance the funding and operational framework for the Produce Incentive Program.
