SB 1161 Arizona Senate · 57th Legislature - Second Regular Session

appropriation; lapsing exemption; Yuma county

This bill exempts $750,000 in state funding for Yuma County's family advocacy center from standard lapsing rules. The funds, originally appropriated for fiscal year 2025-2026 under Laws 2025, Chapter 233, Section 77, will not expire if unused. This ensures the Department of Public Safety can continue supporting Yuma County's family advocacy services without needing new annual appropriations. The change directly affects Yuma County's center and the Department of Public Safety's budget management.
