The proposed bill, H.B. 2024, amends the Arizona Revised Statutes to allocate $50,000,000 from the State Lottery Fund (SLF) to the On-Farm Irrigation Efficiency Fund for fiscal years 2025 and 2026. This allocation is made after other authorized appropriations and deposits, which may impact the funds available for the state General Fund. The bill also includes technical and conforming changes to existing law.

In addition to the new allocation, the bill modifies existing monetary allocations from the SLF to various programs, adjusting the amounts designated for the Arizona Game and Fish Commission Heritage Fund, the Department of Child Safety, and other entities. The bill specifies that the new deposit to the On-Farm Irrigation Efficiency Fund will occur after all other appropriations, ensuring that the fund is supported while maintaining the financial commitments to other programs.
