appropriations; DCS; healthy families program

HB 2911 allocates $5 million annually from the state general fund for Arizona's Department of Child Safety (DCS) to support its existing Healthy Families Program. The funding covers fiscal years 2025-2026, 2026-2027, and 2027-2028, with the legislature intending this to become ongoing annual funding. This bill directly affects the DCS program, which provides services to families, though it does not change the program's structure or eligibility. The key mechanism is the dedicated state funding stream for the program's operations. The bill focuses solely on financial support for an established service, with no new policy requirements.
