The proposed bill, if enacted, would update current statutes by appropriating $6,406,300 from the state General Fund for fiscal year 2026-2027 specifically to the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT). This funding is designated for the construction of a left turn lane at the intersection of southbound State Route 87 and East Malcolm X Street. This new allocation is intended to enhance traffic flow and safety at this intersection.
In addition to the appropriation, the bill includes language that formalizes the purpose of the funding, stating that it is for the construction of the left turn lane. The bill would become effective on the general effective date, ensuring that the appropriated funds can be utilized in a timely manner for the intended project. Overall, the bill introduces new financial provisions while maintaining the existing framework of ADOT's responsibilities as outlined in current law.
