Arizona 2023 Regular Session

Arizona House Bill HB2593

Caption

Appropriation; State Route 264

Impact

The primary impact of HB 2593 lies in its direct funding of transportation infrastructure, specifically the development of State Route 264. By assigning a specific amount to this project, the bill aims to enhance not only the road quality but also the overall efficiency and safety of transport in the region. The allocation is exempt from existing provisions regarding the lapsing of appropriations, ensuring that the funds are available for the intended purpose without the risk of being reverted to the general fund, which can sometimes limit the execution of planned projects.

Summary

House Bill 2593 focuses on the appropriation of funds specifically for the development of State Route 264 by the Arizona Department of Transportation. The legislation allocates a total of $388,700 from the state general fund for the fiscal year 2023-2024. This financial provision is intended to support infrastructure projects aimed at improving transportation routes within the state, which is a critical aspect of both economic development and community connectivity.

Contention

Although the document does not specify notable disputes regarding HB 2593, any transportation appropriation bill often raises issues related to budget priorities, especially in the face of competing needs such as education or social services. Stakeholders might argue over whether such a sum is the best use of state funds or if there are more pressing infrastructure needs elsewhere. The effectiveness of the project and concerns regarding ongoing maintenance and future funding could also be points of contention among lawmakers and constituents.
