Arizona state parks heritage fund
HB 2281 redirects $10 million annually from Arizona's state lottery fund to the Arizona State Parks Heritage Fund, established under state law. This funding supports state parks programs, including maintenance, conservation, and recreational activities. The bill specifies that these allocations are adjusted yearly based on GDP changes and are exempt from standard appropriation lapsing rules. Other lottery funds are distributed to additional programs (e.g., child safety, health services, and university projects), but the core provision for state parks is a dedicated $10 million annual allocation.
