This bill proposes to update current statutes by appropriating $6,000,000 from the state general fund for the fiscal year 2026-2027 specifically for the Navajo Nation. The funds are designated for the design, planning, construction, maintenance, and operation costs associated with the Tuba City Diné youth multipurpose complex project. This new financial allocation aims to support the development of community infrastructure for the Navajo Nation.
Additionally, the bill includes a provision that exempts this appropriation from the lapsing provisions outlined in section 35-190 of the Arizona Revised Statutes. This means that the allocated funds will not expire at the end of the fiscal year, allowing for greater flexibility in their use for the intended project. Overall, the bill introduces significant financial support and regulatory exemptions to enhance community resources for the Navajo Nation.
