 transportation.
 
-(TEXT OF BILL BEGINS ON NEXT PAGE)
+Purpose
 
-Be it enacted by the Legislature of the State of Arizona:
+Makes statutory changes relating to transportation necessary to implement
+the FY 2027 state budget.
 
-Section 1. Title 28, chapter 2, article 3,
-Arizona Revised Statutes, is amended by adding section 28-377, to read:
+Background
 
-START_STATUTE28-377. Annual report; motor vehicle division wait times; vehicle
-registration by mail turnaround times
+The Arizona Constitution prohibits substantive law from being included in
+the general appropriations, capital outlay appropriations and supplemental
+appropriations bills. However, it is often necessary to make statutory and
+session law changes to effectuate the budget. Thus, separate bills called
+budget reconciliation bills (BRBs) are introduced to enact these provisions.
+Because BRBs contain substantive law changes, the Arizona Constitution provides
+that they become effective on the general effective date, unless an emergency
+clause is enacted.
 
-On or before July 31 of each year, the
-DEPARTMENT shall report to the Joint legislative budget committee on the
-progress in IMPROVING motor vehicle division wait times and vehicle
-REGISTRATION renewal by mail turnaround times. The report shall be
-in a format that is similar to the report the DEPARTMENT submitted to the joint
-LEGISLATIVE budget committee before the effective date of this section. END_STATUTE
+H.B. 4153 contains the budget
+reconciliation provisions for changes relating to transportation.
+
+Provisions
+
+1.    Requires
+the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) to report to the Joint
+Legislative Budget Committee, by July 31 of each year, on the progress in
+improving Motor Vehicle Division wait times and vehicle registration renewal by
+mail turnaround times.
+
+2.    Requires
+the report to be in a format similar to the report submitted by ADOT for FY
+2026.
+
+3.    Becomes
+effective on the general effective date.
+
+Governor's
+Veto Message
+
+The Governor indicates in her veto message that H.B. 4153, and this version of the FY 2027 state
+budget as a whole, would cause Arizona to default on its debt obligations,
+endanger vulnerable children, cut public safety funding and provide tax breaks
+for billionaires, data centers and special interests. The Governor outlines her
+specific concerns, including cuts to funding for specified agencies and
+programs, and invites the Legislature to return to the negotiating table.
