Overview 
Appropriates monies for the operation of the state government in FY 2023. 
History 
The Arizona Legislature adopts a budget for each fiscal year (FY) that contains general 
appropriations. Article IV, Section 20, Part 2, Constitution of Arizona, requires the General 
Appropriations Act (feed bill) to contain only appropriations for the different state departments, 
state institutions, public schools and interest on public debt. Statutory changes necessary to 
reconcile the appropriations made in the feed bill and other changes are drafted into separate 
budget bills. These bills are prepared according to subject area. 
Provisions

$7,200,000 for a school finance data system from lapsing until June 30, 2024. (Sec. 1) 
The tables below indicate state General Fund (GF) and other fund (OF) changes for appropriated
