## Bill overview: provisions PRIA read

- More moving help for mobile-home owners: benefit, high. Eligible park tenants get actual moving costs up to $22,500 for single-section homes or $30,000 for multisection homes, anywhere in Arizona.

- Military families keep relief through 2031: benefit, medium. The Military Family Relief Fund continues through December 31, 2031, instead of ending December 31, 2026. Eligible families can seek up to $20,000 total, including up to six months of mortgage, rent, or utility help. More residency proof is accepted, including an Arizona license, vehicle registrati…
- Young children's hearing services move agencies: benefit, medium. By November 1, 2026, existing and pending listening and spoken-language contracts move to Arizona's Department of Economic Security without changing status. Agencies must prevent service gaps, and remaining 2026–2027 funds transfer after contractor bills are paid. Beginning July 1, 2027, the depart…
- Military donation tax credit lasts longer: benefit, medium. Arizona extends its credit for cash gifts to either Military Family Relief Fund veterans account through tax years beginning by December 31, 2031. The credit cannot exceed your gift, Arizona income tax bill, or filing-status cap. Caps are $200 for single filers and heads of household, and $400 for…
- Rural grants can expand after-school facilities: benefit, low. Through June 30, 2027, rural out-of-school care grants can pay for public-building projects that expand care.

- Arizona creates temporary SNAP administration fund: benefit, low. Arizona creates a Department of Economic Security fund for federal money that pays for SNAP administration. Federal administrative money must enter this fund before it is spent. The money is available without further legislative approval, and the fund section ends after June 30, 2027. This fund doe…
- Drug tests can stop adult cash aid: cost, medium. During fiscal year 2026–2027, Arizona must screen and test adult TANF cash recipients when reasonable cause suggests illegal controlled-substance use. A positive test for a controlled substance not prescribed by a licensed health care provider makes that adult ineligible for one year. The law does…
- SNAP families face tighter eligibility checks: cost, low. Until June 30, 2027, Arizona must check specified state and federal records when deciding or reviewing SNAP eligibility. Records include gambling, treatment, wages, unemployment, corrections, Social Security, new hires, child support, and fleeing-fugitive information. Reliable information suggestin…

They must pay the relocation fund $500 per occupied single-section space or $800 per occupied multisection space. The added payment no longer also depends on violating t…
- More kids qualify; care savings vary: mixed, medium. Grant-supported out-of-school care now covers ages 5–18, up from an upper age limit of 12, including kindergarten-eligible or enrolled five-year-olds. Children must need care outside school instruction, and household income must be $150,000 or less per year. Providers must mainly operate outside sc…
- Housing grants get new funding priorities: mixed, low. For each budget year's first four months, Arizona Housing Trust Fund awards first cover state matching money for specified federal programs.
