The resolution SCR1038 proposes to statutorily allocate $10 million annually from the State Lottery Fund (SLF) to the Arizona State Parks Heritage Fund, contingent upon voter approval. This funding aims to support various initiatives, including outdoor recreation, historic preservation, nonmotorized trails, and environmental education. The Arizona State Parks Board will manage the fund and establish criteria for its use, with specific percentages designated for different types of projects.

Additionally, the resolution exempts the Arizona State Parks Board from rulemaking requirements for one year and mandates that the Secretary of State submit the proposition to voters during the next general election. The measure is designed to enhance the financial resources available for state parks and related projects, ensuring ongoing support for Arizona's natural and cultural heritage.
