general appropriation bill; continuing appropriation

SCR 1026 is a proposed constitutional amendment (not a regular bill) that would change Arizona's budget process. It would automatically continue the previous year's general funding bill into a new fiscal year if no new budget is enacted, with adjustments for inflation, enrollment growth, and required debt payments for specific agencies like education and health care. However, this continuation would not apply if the total funding would exceed projected state revenue for the new year. This amendment requires voter approval to take effect.
