expenditure limitation; school districts; repeal

SB 1635 modifies Arizona's school funding rules by exempting certain state funds received by school districts and career technical education districts from budgetary spending limits. Specifically, it clarifies that funds provided under Chapter 15 (related to education) are not counted as "local revenues" for constitutional spending limits and cannot be restricted by budgetary controls. This change directly affects school districts, allowing them to spend these designated state funds without triggering existing expenditure caps. The bill also repeals Section 15-911 and makes minor technical adjustments to other statutes (like probation funding and justice of the peace compensation), but its primary focus is on school district budget flexibility.
