Bill > HB2727

This bill appropriates $1,500,000 from the state general fund for fiscal year 2026-2027 to the Arizona health innovation trust fund, which is a fund established to support health innovations. An additional $1,500,000 from the same fund is specifically allocated to the state treasurer for a pilot program focused on health innovations for individuals with chronic conditions, defined as long-lasting health conditions requiring ongoing medical attention and often limiting daily activities, such as autoimmune diseases, cardiovascular diseases, cancers, diabetes, and neurodegenerative diseases. This specific appropriation for the pilot program will not lapse at the end of the fiscal year, meaning it can be used beyond that period. The legislature's intent is for the Arizona health innovation trust fund, which is comprised of legislative appropriations, investment earnings, and donations, to grow into a permanent endowment of at least $200,000,000.
