appropriation; tribal shelter beds

HB 2554 allocates $5 million from Arizona's state general fund for fiscal year 2025-2026 to fund additional domestic violence shelter beds operated by tribal governments across Arizona. The Department of Economic Security will distribute these funds to tribal governments to expand shelter capacity for domestic violence survivors. This appropriation is exempt from standard state rules requiring unused funds to lapse at year-end, ensuring the full amount remains available for its intended purpose. The bill directly affects tribal governments and domestic violence service providers on tribal lands.
