appropriation; N9073 Rockfall/Roadway project

HB 2287 appropriates $4 million from Arizona's state general fund for fiscal year 2026-2027 to the Navajo Department of Transportation. This funding is specifically for engineering services and early-stage construction to mitigate rockfall hazards on N9073 road. The appropriation is exempt from standard lapse rules under Arizona law, ensuring the funds remain available if not fully spent by the end of the fiscal year. The bill directly affects the Navajo Nation's transportation infrastructure by providing dedicated funding for a safety project on a specific roadway.
