Assigned to APPROP FOR COMMITTEE ARIZONA STATE SENATE Fifty-Sixth Legislature, First Regular Session FACT SHEET FOR S.B. 1533 state buildings; management; 2023-2024. Purpose Makes session law changes relating to the management of state buildings necessary to implement the FY 2024 state budget. Background The Arizona Constitution prohibits substantive law from being included in the general appropriations, capital outlay appropriations and supplemental appropriations bills. However, it is often necessary to make statutory and session law changes to effectuate the budget. Thus, separate bills called budget reconciliation bills (BRBs) are introduced to enact these provisions. Because BRBs contain substantive law changes, the Arizona Constitution provides that they become effective on the general effective date, unless an emergency clause is enacted. S.B. 1533 contains the budget reconciliation provisions for changes relating to state buildings. Provisions 1. Continues to set the Capital Outlay Stabilization Fund square-footage rental rates for state-owned buildings at $17.87 for office space and $6.43 for storage space in FY 2024. 2. Becomes effective on the general effective date. Prepared by Senate Research January 30, 2023 AN/slp
