History 
The county Board of Supervisors (BOS) is tasked with various duties that are outlined in statute.  
The BOS is required to supervise the official conduct of all county officers charged with collecting, 
assessing, managing, safekeeping or disbursing public revenues and to see that the officers 
faithfully perform their duties (A.R.S. § 11-251). 
The Joint Legislative Budget Committee (JLBC) is comprised of 16 members of the House of 
Representatives and the Senate.  JLBC must ascertain facts and make recommendations to the 
Legislature regarding the state budget, revenues and expenditures of the state (A.R.S. §§ 41-
1271, 41-1272). 
Provisions 
1. States, as session law, that for FY 2024, a county with a population of less than 250,000 
people: 
a) May meet any county fiscal obligation, up to $1,250,000, from any source of county 
revenue designated by the county; and 
b) Must report to the director of JLBC by October 1, 2023 whether the county met its fiscal 
obligation using a different revenue source and the specific source and amount of 
revenues intended for use in FY 2024. (Sec. 1)
