HB 2026

This bill adjusts appropriations for nuclear emergency management in Arizona by increasing funding amounts across multiple fiscal years and departments. The legislation raises the base funding levels from approximately $2.13 million to $2.21 million for one period and from $2.19 million to $2.27 million for another, while also transferring certain regulatory responsibilities from the radiation regulatory agency to the Arizona Department of Agriculture with an increased allocation from about $201,000 to $280,000. These amendments appear to strengthen the state's nuclear emergency preparedness infrastructure through enhanced funding and reorganized departmental responsibilities.
