appropriation; Fort Defiance; streetlights

HB 2285 appropriates $3.5 million from the state general fund for fiscal year 2026-2027 to the Arizona Department of Transportation. This funding will be distributed to the Fort Defiance chapter of the Navajo Nation to install solar streetlights along BIA Routes N110, N7, and N12 in Fort Defiance. The bill directly affects the Navajo Nation community in Fort Defiance by providing resources for infrastructure improvements on these specific routes. As a funding measure, it does not create new policy but allocates state funds for a defined project.
