This bill proposes to update current statutes by appropriating $2,880,000 from the state General Fund for fiscal year 2026-2027 specifically to the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT). The funds are designated for distribution to the Northern Arizona Council of Governments to conduct a study on rural school bus routes.

The new language introduced by the bill includes the specific appropriation amount and its intended use, which is not currently specified in the existing statutes. The bill does not delete any existing provisions but rather adds to the current legal framework governing transportation funding and studies.
