Bill > SB1733

This bill appropriates $20,000,000 from the state general fund for fiscal year 2026-2027 to the department of economic security, which will then distribute these funds as grants to tribal nations for the purpose of surveying, designing, planning, constructing, and operating senior citizen centers, senior assisted living centers, and home care facilities. Specifically, the Navajo Nation and the Hopi Tribe will each receive twenty-five percent of the appropriated funds, while the remaining fifty percent will be divided among the other twenty federally recognized tribal nations in Arizona. Importantly, this appropriation is exempt from a state law (section 35-190, Arizona Revised Statutes) that typically causes unspent appropriated funds to expire at the end of a fiscal year, meaning the money can be used beyond that period.
