SB 1001 Arizona Senate · 57th Legislature - Second Regular Session

appropriation; older individuals; blind

SB 1001 appropriates $1,000,000 from Arizona's state general fund for fiscal year 2026-2027 to the Department of Economic Security specifically for the "older individuals who are blind program." This funding directly supports older Arizonans who are blind by providing resources through the state's economic security services. The bill is purely procedural, allocating existing funds without creating new policies or eligibility requirements. It has been prefilled for the 2025 legislative session but does not change program rules or expand benefits.
