Overview

Contains session law provisions relating to local government needed to implement the FY 2023 budget.

History

The county Board of Supervisors (BOS) is tasked with various duties that are outlined in statute. The BOS is required to supervise the official conduct of all county officers charged with collecting, assessing, managing, safekeeping or disbursing public revenues and to see that the officers faithfully perform their duties (A.R.S. § 11-251).

The Joint Legislative Budget Committee (JLBC) is comprised of sixteen members of the House of Representatives and the Senate that meet as often as they deem necessary. JLBC must ascertain facts and make recommendations to the Legislature regarding the state budget, revenues and expenditures of the state (A.R.S. §§ 41-1271, 41-1272).

Provisions

1. Specifies, as session law, that for FY 2023, a county with a population of less than 250,000 people:

a) May meet any county fiscal obligation, up to $1,250,000, from any source of county revenue designated by the county; and

b) By October 1, 2022, each specified county must report to the director of JLBC whether the county used a revenue source for purposes other than the purposes of the revenue source to meet a county fiscal obligation and the specific source and amount of revenues intended for use in FY 2023.
