This bill proposes to update current statutes by appropriating $4,000,000 from the state general fund for the fiscal year 2026-2027 specifically to the department of transportation. The funds are designated for distribution to the Navajo department of transportation to support engineering services and early-stage construction for the N9073 Rockfall/Roadway project.
Additionally, the bill includes a provision that exempts this appropriation from the lapsing provisions outlined in section 35-190 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, ensuring that the allocated funds do not expire at the end of the fiscal year. This change aims to provide financial stability for the project and facilitate its timely execution.
