AI Summary
- Proposes amending the Arizona Constitution to create a continuing appropriation mechanism if no general appropriation bill is signed into law when a new fiscal year begins
- The previous fiscal year's general appropriation bill would automatically remain in effect until a new one is signed, with adjustments made by the Joint Legislative Budget Committee
- Required adjustments include removing one-time transfers and expenditures, making debt service adjustments, and accounting for inflation and enrollment growth for education, AHCCCS, child safety, and economic security programs
- The continuing appropriation does not apply if the adjusted prior-year budget plus other required appropriations would exceed projected general fund revenues for the new fiscal year
- If approved by the legislature, this constitutional amendment would be submitted to voters at the next general election
