Bill > SB1083

This bill provides a state general fund appropriation of $3,500,000 to the University of Arizona in fiscal year 2025-2026, specifically designated for the Yuma Center of Excellence for Desert Agriculture. The legislation indicates that the Arizona Legislature intends for this funding to be considered ongoing, meaning they expect similar funding levels to continue in future budget cycles. The Yuma Center of Excellence for Desert Agriculture appears to be a specialized research and development center focused on agricultural innovations and practices specific to desert environments, which likely aims to support agricultural sustainability and productivity in arid regions like Arizona. By allocating these funds, the state is demonstrating its commitment to supporting agricultural research and development at the University of Arizona.
