SB 1067 Arizona Senate · 57th Legislature - First Regular Session

community college districts; tax rate

SB 1067 allocates $2 million from the state general fund for the Auditor General to purchase software that audits state agencies and school districts. The bill specifically exempts this funding from standard appropriation deadlines under Arizona law. It directly affects the Auditor General's office and the entities they audit, including school districts. The bill passed the Senate on March 10, 2025, and was referred to the House for further consideration. (Note: The bill's title mentions "community college districts; tax rate," but the actual text concerns audit software funding, not tax rate changes.)
