The proposed bill, if enacted, would amend current statutes by appropriating $50,000 from the state General Fund for fiscal year 2026-2027 to the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) specifically for monitoring uranium contamination. This funding would be utilized for soil, water, and home testing to identify potential uranium contamination. Additionally, the ADEQ would be required to establish a statewide registry and monitoring program for uranium contamination and collaborate with tribal epidemiology centers for its implementation.

Furthermore, the bill mandates that by December 31, 2027, the ADEQ must submit a report detailing its findings and recommendations to the Governor, the President of the Senate, and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, with a copy provided to the Secretary of State. Importantly, the appropriation would be exempt from the usual provisions regarding lapsing of appropriations, ensuring that the funds remain available for their intended purpose.
