History
The Arizona Legislature adopts a budget for each fiscal year (FY) that contains general
appropriations. Article IV, Section 20, Part 2 of the 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.
