Bill > HB4130

This bill amends existing Arizona law regarding local government budgets, specifically for cities and towns, by allowing them to adjust their adopted budgets during the fiscal year to accommodate unexpected additional revenues, provided certain conditions are met. These conditions include that budget amendments do not need to be adopted by a specific July deadline, that no new or increased taxes or fees can be introduced through an amendment, and that the amended budget must follow specific public notice and hearing procedures, including being discussed at one regular meeting before a vote at the next. The purpose of this change is to provide cities and towns with more flexibility in managing their finances when unforeseen revenue becomes available, without altering the fundamental budget adoption process.
