Votes at a glance
- House Bill 2871 — Due‑pass recommendation (committee vote 10‑0). Appropriates $5,000,000 (FY2026) to DHS for phase 1 clinical trials of ibogaine for TBI, PTSD and related indications (detailed coverage in a separate article).
- House Bill 2018 — Due‑pass recommendation (committee vote 7‑3). Allows certain Arizona degree‑granting post‑secondary institutions that offer post‑baccalaureate teacher preparation to participate in the Arizona Teachers Academy and appropriates $10,000,000 from the state general fund for FY2026 to the Teachers Academy fund; testimony included Grand Canyon University leadership in support.
- House Bill 2074 — Due‑pass recommendation (committee vote 6‑4). Expands the school safety program to support costs for placing school safety officers on campus, requires emergency response plans and periodic safety assessments, and permits an alternative proposal process when an SRO/JPO/SSO cannot be placed.
- House Bill 2192 (listed as 21‑92 in hearing) — Due‑pass recommendation (committee vote 10‑0). Moves state funding earlier for I‑10 widening between State Route 85 and Citrus Road; appropriation amounts and schedule were described in testimony from city and regional representatives and ADOT.
- House Concurrent Resolution 2016 (HCR 20‑16) — Due‑pass recommendation (committee vote 8‑2). Expresses legislative support for long‑term water augmentation and supports the Water Infrastructure Finance Authority (WIFA) mission; WIFA representatives testified on project selection and process. (Note: this is a resolution, not an appropriation.)
- House Bill 2814 — Failed in committee (vote 5‑5). Would have given the legislature authority to appropriate certain non‑custodial federal monies; proponents argued it restores legislative control over funding decisions while opponents raised concerns about process and tradeoffs.
- House Bill 2177 — Due‑pass recommendation (motion recorded). Appropriates $400,000 to the Address Confidentiality Program fund; proponents described the funding as ongoing support to protect survivors of domestic violence and trafficking. (Roll call was taken but a detailed roll‑call tally was not captured in the transcript excerpt.)
Notes on procedure and next steps: A due‑pass recommendation advances a bill out of committee but does not itself enact funding or law. Several appropriations discussed during the hearing require further action in the full budget process. For bills with fiscal impacts, staff and members noted the need to reconcile budget priorities and to draft any statutory guardrails or RFP provisions before final enactment.
