This bill proposes to update current statutes by appropriating $1,500,000 from the state general fund for fiscal year 2026-2027 specifically to the department of administration. The funds are designated for the Navajo Nation to cover costs associated with the surveying, design, planning, and construction of the Fort Defiance senior center project.
Additionally, the bill includes a provision that exempts this appropriation from the lapsing provisions outlined in section 35-190 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, which typically governs the expiration of unspent appropriations. This exemption ensures that the allocated funds remain available for their intended purpose without the risk of lapsing at the end of the fiscal year.
