appropriation; Arizona America250 commission

SB 1601 appropriates $500,000 and five full-time positions from Arizona's general fund for fiscal year 2025-2026 to support the Arizona America250 Commission, established under prior law (Laws 2022, chapter 49, section 1). The funding is exempt from standard appropriation lapsing rules under Arizona law. This bill directly provides financial resources to the commission, which was created to commemorate Arizona's 250th anniversary, without altering the commission's existing mandate or creating new policies.
