This bill proposes to update current statutes by appropriating $15,000,000 from the state general fund for fiscal year 2026-2027 to the state treasurer, specifically for distribution to Yavapai County to support the establishment of a consolidated elections facility. The bill stipulates that the state treasurer can only distribute these funds if Yavapai County provides a written commitment to match at least fifty percent of the total capital costs for the facility.

Additionally, the bill includes a provision that exempts this appropriation from the lapsing provisions outlined in section 35-190 of the Arizona Revised Statutes until June 30, 2029. This means that the allocated funds will not expire and can be utilized beyond the typical timeframe for appropriations, ensuring that Yavapai County has the necessary financial support for the project.
