Bill > HB4021

This bill appropriates $10,000,000 from Arizona's general fund to the Department of Health Services for the fiscal year 2026-2027, specifically to cover the costs associated with issuing and renewing registry identification cards for veterans of the United States armed forces. These registry identification cards are related to medical marijuana programs, as indicated by the reference to section 36-2804.02 of Arizona Revised Statutes, which likely outlines the process for veterans to obtain medical marijuana. Importantly, this appropriation is exempt from a standard state law (section 35-190, Arizona Revised Statutes) that would normally cause unspent funds to revert to the general fund at the end of the fiscal year, meaning the money can be carried over if not fully used in 2026-2027.
