appropriation; Douglas port of entry
SB 1272 appropriates $30.7 million from Arizona's state general fund for fiscal year 2026-2027 to the city of Douglas. This funding is specifically for Arizona's state match toward the Douglas port of entry project, contingent on the General Services Administration (GSA) awarding $678 million for the same project. The bill directly affects the city of Douglas, which will use the state funds to cover its portion of the port's costs. The key provision requires the state funds to be disbursed only if the GSA secures the larger federal award first.
