ARIZONA STATE SENATE
Fifty-Seventh Legislature, First Regular Session
appropriation; State Route 347
Purpose
Appropriates $49,000,000 from the state General Fund (state GF) in FY 2026, rather than FY 2028, to the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) to construct an overpass at Riggs Road and State Route 347.
Background
The FY 2021
Capital Outlay Budget Reconciliation Bill (BRB) appropriated $25,000,000 from
the state GF to ADOT to construct an overpass at Riggs Road and State Route 347
(Laws 2021, Ch.
406). The FY 2022 Capital Outlay BRB appropriated a total of $11,375,000
from the State Highway Fund to ADOT for the Riggs Road and State Route 347
project (Laws
2022, Ch. 309). The FY 2023 Capital Outlay BRB increased the FY 2022
appropriation for the project to $24,000,000 from the State Highway Fund (Laws 2023, Ch. 135).
The FY 2025 Capital Outlay BRB removed the State Highway Fund as a funding
source for the appropriation and increased the total appropriation from the
state GF to $49,000,000 (Laws 2024, Ch. 211).
S.B. 1617 accelerates the FY 2028 $49,000,000 appropriation from the state GF to FY 2026 to ADOT.
