This bill proposes to update current statutes by appropriating $800,000 from the state general fund for the fiscal year 2026-2027 specifically for the Navajo division of transportation. The funds are designated for the improvement of Navajo Route 8009, which includes activities such as grading, draining, graveling, and stabilizing the roadway.
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 more stability and assurance for the funding dedicated to the roadway improvements.
