appropriation; sound barrier; SR24

HB 2117 appropriates funds for the Arizona Department of Transportation to construct a sound barrier on the north side of State Route 24 between Williams Field Road and Meridian Road. The bill directly affects residents and businesses near this specific stretch of highway by authorizing funding to reduce traffic noise. It provides a specific budget allocation from the state general fund for fiscal year 2025-2026 to build this barrier. As a funding measure, it does not create new policy but enables a physical infrastructure project.
