If enacted, this bill would update current statutes regarding the Developmental Disabilities Group Home Monitoring Program by extending its delayed repeal date from January 1, 2028, to January 1, 2032. This change is reflected in the insertion of the new date 2032 in the relevant section of the Arizona Revised Statutes. Additionally, the bill would remove the existing requirement that the Department of Economic Security's (DES) obligation to contract with a designated entity for the program is subject to available appropriations. This deletion would allow DES to proceed with contracting without the limitation of funding availability, thereby ensuring the continuity of the program's operations. The overall effect of these changes would be to solidify the program's future and enhance its operational stability.
