State finance code tightens expenses in Arizona offices
Phoenix March 14 A proposed finance code and general appropriation would trim state costs by about 831000 in next year and save an additional 500000. The measure would repeal 179 existing appropriations, require all agency expenses to be paid from the general fund, and bar new debt beyond general appropriation limits. It standardizes accounts, directs unused funds back to the general fund, and caps quarterly salaries and travel without joint approval. The bill, backed by Senator Elliott, moves through committees. lawmakers echo concern over bankers drafted measures and debate constitutional changes amid ongoing tax and livestock bills.
