appropriation; northeast Arizona training center

HB 2236 appropriates $4.3 million from Arizona's general fund for capital improvements at the northeast Arizona training center operated by Northland Pioneer Community College in Navajo County. The funds must be used exclusively for public safety workforce training, including modernizing the driving track to meet state standards, expanding classroom space for law enforcement and emergency services programs, and upgrading related infrastructure. The college must report by December 2027 on how the money was spent, progress toward training standards, completed facility upgrades, and enrollment/outcomes data. This bill directly affects public safety training programs and their participants in northeast Arizona.
