HB 2184 Arizona House · 57th Legislature - First Regular Session

appropriations; health innovation trust fund

HB 2184 appropriates $2 million from Arizona's state general fund to the Arizona Health Innovation Trust Fund for fiscal year 2025-2026, plus an additional $500,000 to fund a pilot program under existing law (ARS 41-177). The bill establishes the trust fund to grow toward a $200 million permanent endowment using state appropriations, fund earnings, and donations. It directly affects the fund's operations and the entity managing the health innovation pilot program, without specifying particular health initiatives or beneficiaries. The legislation focuses on structuring funding mechanisms rather than mandating specific policy outcomes.

MINOR
The bill's funding amounts were significantly reduced from $2,000,000 to $250,000 for the health innovation trust fund and from $500,000 to $250,000 for the state treasurer's pilot program allocation. The legislative intent to grow the fund to a $200,000,000 endowment balance remains unchanged. This represents a major reduction in available funding while maintaining the same long-term goals.
Scope change
The scope of the bill remains the same, but the financial resources available to implement the health innovation trust fund and pilot program have been substantially reduced.
