This bill proposes to update current statutes by appropriating $3,500,000 from the state general fund for the fiscal year 2026-2027 specifically for the department of transportation. The funds are designated for the Fort Defiance chapter of the Navajo Nation to facilitate the installation of solar streetlights on designated Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) routes within Fort Defiance.
The bill introduces new language that specifies the allocation of these funds and the intended purpose, which is not currently addressed in existing statutes. There are no deletions from current law, meaning that the existing legal framework remains intact while the new provisions are added to enhance transportation infrastructure in the specified area.
