Governor signs bill extending tax funding to K-12 Schools

Governor Doug Ducey signed Senate Bill-1390 today, which extends Prop-301 for another 20-years. The legislation, sponsored by Senator Kate Brophy-McGee and Representative Doug Coleman, protects a $667 million a year funding stream to Arizona schools. Prop-301 is a voter-approved initiative passed in 2000 and championed by then Governor Jane Hull. It provides millions of dollars annually in education funding. It was set to expire in 2021, and this legislation extends it to 2041.
