This bill proposes to update current statutes by appropriating $8,000,000 from the state general fund for fiscal year 2026-2027 specifically for the Navajo Technical University. The funds are designated for the survey, design, planning, and construction of an environmental testing laboratory, which may include necessary interior build-out and specialized equipment.
Additionally, the bill includes a provision that exempts this appropriation from the lapsing provisions outlined in section 35-190 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, ensuring that the allocated funds do not expire at the end of the fiscal year. This change aims to provide financial stability for the project and facilitate its timely completion.
