The state gives $225,015,600 to the Division of School Facilities. Money for new school facilities is only for districts with final approval on or before December 15, 2025.

The law defers $800,727,700 of district basic and additional state aid in FY2026–27 until after June 30, 2027, but no later than July 12, 2027. The delay does not apply to charter schools or to districts with fewer than 4,000 pupils. The state appropriates the same amount in FY2027–28 for repayment on that July 2027 schedule.

By June 30, 2027, it also transfers $9.7 million from the State Highway Fund. These sweeps reduce those funds’ balances and increase general fund resources.
SNAP implementation money stays available through June 30, 2028. Summer food benefits administration money will not lapse until October 31, 2027. These steps keep program admin funds in place. They do not change who can get benefits.
Youth correctional officers get a permanent 4% raise starting in FY2026–27. The raise equals 4% of the officer’s FY2025–26 annual salary.
Any Workforce Investment Act grant money above $87,109,200 goes to Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act services. Before spending the extra amount, the Department of Economic Security must report its intended use to JLBC. This can expand training and job services.
The state provides $53,896,900 for the Arizona State Schools for the Deaf and the Blind in FY2026–27. Before spending beyond $12,955,500 from the Schools Fund or beyond $15,346,300 from the Cooperative Services Fund, ASDB must report the use to JLBC.

It provides $29 million in additional assistance ($23.142 million to districts and $5.858 million to charters), $37 million for schools serving free and reduced‑price lunch students, and $75 million in a state aid supplement split by weighted student counts. The school safety program gets $50 million more, first to schools on the waiting list for school resource officers. These grants cannot replace local SRO funding. Any leftover funds may pay for school counselors and social workers.
The University of Arizona gets $822,430,400 in FY2026–27. State general fund money cannot pay for alumni association costs. Arizona Geological Survey funds may be used only for that line and cannot be moved. Up to $1,200,000 may support a perinatal and pediatric psychiatry access hotline. Money for the College of Veterinary Medicine must increase in‑state resident seats, and the university must report current resident and nonresident counts before spending those funds.
The state gives the Department of Administration $299,933,300 for 2026–2027. It includes a $3,000,000 one‑time capital grant to a qualifying Mesa‑based 501(c)(3) food bank founded between 1980 and 1999 in a county over four million people.

DES must report developmental disability placements and costs by September 1, 2027, and get JLBC review before moving money among key DDD lines.

The Department of Veterans' Services gets $72,801,600. It must fund veteran benefit counseling in rural tribal nations 100+ miles from the nearest VA service center.

It must set and report enforcement goals by September 30, 2026, and report results by September 30, 2027. The department may not move money into or out of the tax fraud prevention line without JLBC review. This raises the chance that taxpayers face audits or collections actions.
The law reduces earlier and current appropriations across many agencies and programs. Examples include a $31,859,000 cut to FY2025–26 basic state aid and various operating lump‑sum reductions in FY2026–27. These cuts lower available funding for the affected programs.
For FY2026–27, the law makes one‑time changes to employer health insurance contributions: a $240,665,300 reduction and a $404,684,500 increase, allocated by JLBC and ADOA. It also cuts $3,407,300 from agency retirement adjustments. These shifts change how much agencies budget for employee benefits this year.
The law sends steady money from state land funds to Corrections. It lets the department give private‑prison staff stipends from savings, but not more than department staff get. Corrections must file a bed‑capacity report by November 1, 2025 and get budget review before opening or closing 100 or more rated beds. It must send an expenditure plan to lawmakers before non‑payroll spending and report spending and staffing each month.

The law moves money up and down for agency operations in FY2026–27.

DCS must meet these targets: 1,000 backlog cases, under 8,000 open reports, and 3,323 long‑term cases. It must report progress by February 28, 2027 and August 31, 2027. If a report is more than 30 days late, 2% of DCS’s semiannual operating money is withheld until it submits the report.
Water Resources gets $33,844,800 and $6,000,000 goes to the Colorado River litigation fund. Some line items are locked to specific legal purposes and cannot be transferred without review.
