state properties;
management; 2026-2027

Purpose

Makes session
law changes relating to the management of state properties necessary to
implement the FY 2027 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.

H.B. 4167 contains
the budget reconciliation provisions for changes relating to state properties.
