Bill Summary
Expenditure limit; school districts; authorization
AI Summary
This joint resolution authorizes Arizona school districts to spend local revenue beyond the standard expenditure limits set by the Arizona Constitution for the 2025-2026 fiscal year. Specifically, the resolution allows school districts to exceed their normally prescribed spending caps, but this authorization is contingent upon receiving approval from at least two-thirds of the members in both the Arizona House of Representatives and the Senate through a recorded roll call vote. The resolution is essentially providing a temporary exemption to the constitutional spending restriction, which is designed to control government expenditures, and requires broad legislative support to take effect. By obtaining supermajority approval, the legislature is granting school districts more financial flexibility to potentially address educational funding needs for the upcoming fiscal year.
