Fifty-Sixth Legislature, First Regular Session

 

ENACTED

 

AMENDED

FACT SHEET FOR s.b. 1720/H.B.2810

 

general appropriations act; 2023-2024.

Purpose

Makes session law changes relating to general appropriations necessary to implement the FY 2024 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 2024 JLBC Baseline).

S.B. 1720 contains the budget provisions for changes relating to general appropriations.
