Bill > HB2236

This bill appropriates $4,300,000 from the state general fund for the fiscal year 2026-2027 to the Navajo County Community College District, specifically for capital improvements at the northeast Arizona training center, which is operated by Northland Pioneer Community College. These funds are designated exclusively for public safety workforce training, including refurbishing and modernizing the instructional driving track to meet standards set by the Arizona Peace Officer Standards and Training Board, expanding and renovating classrooms to accommodate more students in public safety and emergency services programs, and making infrastructure improvements related to law enforcement, firefighting, and emergency services instruction. The Navajo County Community College District is required to submit a report by December 31, 2027, detailing how the money was spent, progress on meeting training standards, completed improvements, and outcomes related to enrollment and workforce success. Importantly, this appropriation is exempt from lapsing, meaning any unspent funds will remain available beyond the fiscal year.
