appropriation; Gila county; flood relief

HB 2070 allocates $25 million from Arizona's state general fund to Gila County for flood relief efforts in fiscal year 2025-2026. The funds must be used for specific flood-related purposes including flood prevention, debris removal, emergency repairs for infrastructure damage, and assistance to landowners, while supplementing (not replacing) federal aid. Gila County must exhaust other funding sources like federal reimbursements or insurance before using these funds and must report monthly to the legislature on expenditures. The appropriation is exempt from standard state budget lapsing rules and requires the county to seek federal reimbursement for eligible costs. This bill directly affects Gila County residents, local governments, and landowners impacted by flooding.
