HB 4140 Arizona House · 57th Legislature - Second Regular Session

2026-2027; state budget implementation.

This bill directs that unrestricted federal funds received between July 1, 2026, and June 30, 2027, be placed into the state general fund to cover essential government services. It temporarily suspends standard rules for the budget stabilization fund during fiscal years 2026-2027 and 2027-2028, allowing the fund to remain unappropriated and preventing the transfer of its surplus to the general fund. Additionally, the legislation requires the governor's 2027-2028 budget proposal to include a detailed report explaining how the state will achieve $100 million in savings through the government efficiency and reform initiative.
