HB 2229 allocates $3 million from Arizona's state general fund in fiscal year 2026-2027 to the Department of Health Services for funding pregnancy resource centers.

This means the college can use the full amount without it expiring before 2030, providing longer-term financial certainty for these programs.

It is a straightforward funding measure with no policy changes beyond the allocation and spending timeline.
This bill (HCR 2007) is a voter-approved measure requiring charter schools to publicly report average teacher salaries and salary increases on their websites. It establishes a "teacher pay fund" funded by state land trust distributions to mandate across-the-board salary increases for eligible teachers in all public schools, based on voter-approved funding levels. Schools must use these dedicated funds to raise base salaries uniformly for eligible teachers without reducing current salaries below 2026-2027 levels, while maintaining separate reporting to the Department of Education. The bill does not change current teacher pay but requires transparency and allocates specific state funds to support future salary increases. (Note: This is a referendum measure requiring voter approval to become law.)
