livestock compensation fund; appropriation
HB 2156 allocates a specific sum from Arizona's general fund for fiscal year 2026-2027 to the existing livestock compensation fund established under Arizona Revised Statutes § 17-493. This bill provides funding for the program but does not alter eligibility criteria, compensation amounts, or administrative rules for the fund. The appropriation supports the current mechanism for compensating livestock owners for losses, though the exact amount is not specified in the bill text. As a funding measure, it directly affects the operational budget of the livestock compensation fund without creating new policies.
