This bill amends Arizona state law to establish a specific order for how money from the state lottery fund is spent each year. It requires that funds first cover lottery operating costs and bond debt payments, followed by fixed annual allocations to various programs such as the Arizona Game and Fish Commission, child safety, health education, and disease control. The legislation also mandates that a minimum amount be deposited into the state general fund before other specific grants, like those for homeless shelters or university capital improvements, can be distributed. Ultimately, any remaining lottery money after these required payments and allocations must be sent to the state general fund.
