AZ HB2281

Allocates $10,000,000 annually from the state lottery fund to the Arizona State Parks Heritage Fund, placing this allocation alongside existing distributions to programs like the Arizona Game and Fish Commission Heritage Fund.

Heritage fund deposits are contingent on the state general fund first receiving at least $84,150,000 from lottery revenues in a fiscal year; if this threshold may not be met, parks fund deposits are suspended.

Establishes that the Arizona State Parks Heritage Fund will consist of lottery fund deposits, legislative appropriations, grants, donations, and interest earned on those monies.

Grants the Arizona State Parks Board authority to administer the fund, with monies continuously appropriated and exempt from standard appropriation lapsing provisions.

Exempts the Arizona State Parks Board from rulemaking requirements for one year after the act's effective date, with the amended lottery fund provisions taking effect after June 30, 2027.
