Sponsor: Senator Kavanagh (with permission of committee on Rules), LD 3
Transmitted to the Governor
Overview
Contains provisions relating to transportation needed to implement the FY 2024 budget.
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.
The State Match Advantage for Rural Transportation Fund (SMART) is a Fund administered by
the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) whose monies are used: 1) to reimburse up to
50% of the costs associated with developing and submitting an application for a federal grant; 2)
as a match for a federal grant; or 3) to reimburse design or other engineering services
expenditures that meet federal standards for projects eligible for a federal grant. A municipality
entirely located in an urbanized area of a county with a population of over one million people is
ineligible for SMART Fund monies (A.R.S. § 28-339).
Provisions
1. Specifies that a municipality that is partially located in an urbanized area of a county with a
population of over one million people is ineligible for SMART Fund monies. (Sec. 1)
2. Makes a technical change. (Sec. 1)
