Bill > HB2524

This bill makes a technical correction to section 15-209 of the Arizona Revised Statutes regarding the disbursement of federal funds to school districts. Specifically, the bill changes the language about which state entity directs the drawing of warrants from the "division of finance" to the "department of administration," which appears to be an update to reflect the current organizational structure of state government. The bill also makes a minor grammatical adjustment, replacing the pronoun "it" with the more explicit phrase "the monies" when describing how county treasurers should handle the deposited funds. The core process remains the same: when federal funds are apportioned to a school district, the state board of education directs the appropriate state agency to issue a warrant, which the state treasurer will pay. The school district must then deposit these funds with the county treasurer, who will place the money in the appropriate fund and can only disburse it using the school district's voucher and the county school superintendent's warrant.
