Overview 
Outlines restrictions for Arizona tax monies, federal passthrough monies or any other state 
monies (Monies) regarding drag shows targeting minors (Drag Shows).  
History 
The state General Fund (GF) consists of all monies received into the state treasury except for 
money designated by law for other statutory funds. Expenses paid from the state GF must be 
authorized in an appropriation by the Legislature (A.R.S. § 35-141).  
The State Treasurer is responsible for the safekeeping of all securities for which the State 
Treasurer is the lawful custodian. The State Treasurer invests state monies and operates the 
Local Government Investment Pool for the benefit of participating local government units (A.R.S. 
§ 35-314).  
ADOA prescribes all budget units in an accounting system designed to ensure compliance with 
all legal and constitutional requirements, including those receiving, spending and accounting for 
public monies (A.R.S. § 35-131).
