This bill proposes to update current statutes by appropriating specific amounts from the state general fund to the University of Arizona for various programs over the next three fiscal years. The bill includes new funding allocations of $1,600,000 for the Yuma Center of Excellence for Desert Agriculture in fiscal year 2026-2027, as well as additional appropriations for the Cooperative Extension and the Arizona Experiment Station, totaling $2,700,000, $5,400,000, and $8,100,000 for the Cooperative Extension and $18,300,000, $4,600,000, and $7,000,000 for the Arizona Experiment Station across the specified fiscal years.

Furthermore, the bill establishes the intent of the legislature that the funding for the Yuma Center of Excellence be considered ongoing in future years. There are no deletions from current law, and all other existing statutes remain unchanged.
