HB2825 is a budget reconciliation bill (BRB) that makes statutory changes related to transportation to implement the FY 2024 state budget for Arizona. The bill specifically amends section 28-339 of the Arizona Revised Statutes. The key change in the bill is the expansion of ineligibility for State Match Advantage for Rural Transportation Fund monies. Under current law, a municipality entirely located in an urbanized area of a county with a population of more than one million persons is ineligible for certain funding. The new bill language extends this ineligibility to municipalities that are partially located in such urbanized areas. Additionally, the bill makes technical changes, including a minor amendment to the definition of "urbanized area," removing the words "bureau of the" before "census bureau." The bill becomes effective on the general effective date.
