This bill proposes to update current statutes by appropriating $665,000 from the State Highway Fund to the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) for distribution to Apache County. This funding is designated for a rural school bus route enhancement and soil stabilization pilot project, contingent upon Apache County demonstrating a commitment of at least $60,000 in matching funds from non-state sources.

Additionally, the bill includes a provision that exempts this appropriation from lapsing, meaning the allocated funds will not expire at the end of the fiscal year. These updates are intended to ensure that the funds are available for the specified project without the risk of being lost due to lapsing provisions that typically apply to appropriations.
