expenditure limit; school districts; 2025-2026
Arizona's SCR 1041 is a resolution that temporarily allows public school districts to spend more than the constitutional spending cap during the 2025-2026 fiscal year. It directly affects all Arizona public school districts by lifting their annual expenditure limit for that specific year. The resolution requires approval by a two-thirds vote in both legislative chambers to take effect, as stated in its provisions. This change is limited to the 2025-2026 school year and does not alter the permanent constitutional spending cap.
