The bill establishes a youth entrepreneurship pilot program and appropriates funding for its operation.

  • The Arizona commerce authority shall establish the youth entrepreneurship pilot program that provides persons who are at least sixteen but under twenty-four years of age with the following: 1. A community-based entrepreneurial education. 2. Increased economic knowledge and entrepreneurial skills. 3. Mentoring from local small business owners and professionals. 4. Increased opportunities for disconnected youths to meaningfully participate in community economic activities. 5. Opportunities for collaboration and innovation. 6. An appreciation for the benefits and challenges of owning a successful business enterprise, including a successful microenterprise.

    This introduces a new program focused on youth entrepreneurship.

  • On or before October 1 of each year, the Arizona commerce authority shall submit to the governor, the president of the senate and the speaker of the house of representatives a report containing a detailed description of the number and types of activities held, the number of youths served and the outcomes achieved by the pilot program and shall provide a copy of the report to the secretary of state.

    This requires annual reporting on the pilot program's activities and outcomes.

  • The sum of $5,000,000 is appropriated from the state general fund in fiscal year 2020-2021 to the Arizona commerce authority to operate the youth entrepreneurship pilot program established pursuant to this act.

    This appropriates $5 million to fund the youth entrepreneurship pilot program.

  • $50,000 to award seed capital on a competitive basis to youths who are residents of counties with a population of less than seven hundred fifty thousand persons, who have successfully completed one year in the pilot program and who present a meritorious new business enterprise proposal to the authority.

    This allocates seed capital for youth in less populous counties to promote new business ventures.

  • $50,000 to award seed capital on a competitive basis to youths who are residents of counties with a population of seven hundred fifty thousand persons or more, who have successfully completed one year in the pilot program and who present a meritorious new business enterprise proposal to the authority.

    This allocates seed capital for youth in more populous counties to support their business proposals.

  • The appropriation made in subsection A of this section is exempt from the provisions of section 35-190, Arizona Revised Statutes, relating to lapsing of appropriations.

    This ensures that the allocated funds do not lapse at the end of the fiscal year.

  • This section is repealed from and after June 30, 2026.

    This establishes a sunset provision for the youth entrepreneurship pilot program.
