HB 2140 Arizona House · 57th Legislature - Second Regular Session

bullion depository; state monies; treasurer

HB 2140 creates the Arizona Bullion Depository, allowing the state, state agencies, counties, municipalities, and other governmental entities to store precious metals (bullion) there. It permits the state treasurer to deposit up to 10% of state monies as bullion, counting this as part of the state’s official financial reserves. The bill requires the state department to establish implementing rules for the depository’s operation. This policy change directly affects how state funds are managed and stored, shifting a portion of reserves into physical precious metals. The bill does not alter existing funding for programs or services.
