Additionally, Governor Hobbs released the following statement on signing the budget bills into law:

“Despite facing a $1.8 billion budget deficit, we showed Arizonans that we can work across the aisle and compromise to balance the budget and deliver for everyday Arizonans. 

"I am proud that we were able to protect critical services that Arizonans rely on, including state aid to public schools and the Housing Trust Fund. We also made meaningful investments that will strengthen our healthcare system, support border security and fentanyl interdiction efforts, increase affordable housing, and improve the well-being of our children. 

“Nobody got everything they wanted, but this bipartisan, balanced budget puts our state on solid financial ground. Moving forward, I’ll continue working to secure our water future and create good-paying jobs for working families. And while we won reforms to the unsustainable ESA program, I am not done fighting to bring true accountability and transparency to protect taxpayer dollars and ensure every Arizona child gets the education they deserve.”
