HB 2949 Arizona House · 57th Legislature - First Regular Session

capital outlay; appropriations; 2025-2026

HB 2949 allocates state funds for transportation infrastructure projects, primarily funding the construction of an overpass at Riggs Road and State Route 347 ($12.3 million for 2025-2026, $29.1 million for 2026-2027, and $49 million for 2027-2028) and adding lanes on I-10 between State Route 85 and Citrus Road ($40 million for 2025-2026 and $93 million for 2026-2027). It transfers $55.9 million from the state highway fund to the general fund to support agency maintenance, while reducing specific park project funding (e.g., $2.2 million for sunshade structures) that reverts to the state parks revenue fund. The bill directly affects the Arizona Department of Transportation, which will use the funds for construction, and indirectly impacts residents through infrastructure improvements. It does not change existing laws but adjusts budget allocations for these projects across multiple fiscal years.

REQUIREMENT
