Gov. Hobbs announces bill moratorium

"Any bill not already on my desk will be vetoed until we have a serious, bipartisan funding solution that protects health care for Arizonans with disabilities," Gov. Hobbs said in a statement.

PHOENIX - Governor Katie Hobbs on Thursday announced a moratorium on signing new legislation until lawmakers pass a bill funding health care for those with disabilities.

The state's division of developmental disabilities runs out of money at the end of April. If lawmakers do not pass a funding bill, the agency would shut down until the state's new budget year in July.

The agency provides services for nearly 60,000 disabled Arizonans.
