ARIZONA STATE SENATE
Fifty-Fifth Legislature, Second Regular Session
FACT SHEET FOR h.b. 2862/s.b. 1729
general appropriations act; 2022-2023
Purpose
Makes session law changes relating to general appropriations necessary to implement the FY 2023 state budget.
Background
The Arizona Constitution prohibits substantive law from being included in the general appropriations, capital outlay appropriations and supplemental appropriations bills. However, it is often necessary to make statutory and session law changes to effectuate the budget. Thus, separate bills called budget reconciliation bills (BRBs) are introduced to enact these provisions. Because BRBs contain substantive law changes, the Arizona Constitution provides that they become effective on the general effective date, unless an emergency clause is enacted.
The Joint Legislative Budget Committee (JLBC) Baseline includes an estimate of spending necessary to meet requirements of statutory formulas and other obligations (FY 2023 JLBC Baseline).
H.B. 2862 contains the budget provisions for changes relating to general appropriations.
