Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

6 provisions identified: 5 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.

Railroad safety gets securities fund support

The Arizona Corporation Commission must use money from its securities regulatory and enforcement fund for railroad safety. The fund also supports securities education and enforcement, investigations, and certain agency costs. The law sets no dollar amount.

Arizona backs defense innovation and testing

The Arizona Commerce Authority manages the advanced air mobility fund, whose money requires legislative approval and does not lapse. The Office of Defense Innovation must contract with a qualified public or private group to support defense, aerospace, and national security work. The office also supports technology testing, federal grants, and aviation approvals. It cannot regulate public or private groups, and the law does not guarantee household benefits.

Tourism office can use donated funds

The Arizona Office of Tourism can accept and spend gifts, grants, and donations for tourism purposes. The law sets no amount and does not provide a direct household payment.

Local projects face fewer voter approval votes

Cities and towns with more than 100,000 people need voter approval for financial assistance, up from the former threshold of more than 50,000. Counties with more than 500,000 people need approval, up from more than 200,000. No new vote is needed for a substantially similar project voters already approved.

Arizona Competes funding lasts longer

Arizona Competes now ends on July 1, 2028, instead of July 1, 2026. After required earlier lottery deposits and at least $99.64 million deposited in the state General Fund, the state deposits $1.75 million each year into the Arizona Competes Fund through fiscal year 2028-2029. Annual deposits rise to $3.5 million after that. This funding does not provide direct household payments.

Insurers pay annual surveillance assessments

Insurers with an active Arizona certificate of authority pay an annual assessment based on their admitted assets from the prior year. The assessment ranges from $250 to $375 for insurers with up to $24,999,999 in assets, and from $15,000 to $22,500 for those with more than $1 billion. Other asset tiers have assessments between those amounts. Certain domestic reinsurers and service companies are excluded. The Legislature now approves spending from the financial surveillance fund; households do not pay the assessment directly, though insurers may pass along some costs.
