Arizona competes fund; repeal
HB 2751 repeals Section 41-1545.05 of Arizona law, which previously governed the Arizona Competes Fund. This fund, established to support job creation programs using withholding tax revenues and other dedicated funds, continues to exist under its amended governing section (41-1545.01). The repeal takes effect retroactively from June 30, 2026, removing the specific legal provisions that regulated the fund’s administration. The bill directly affects how the fund is legally governed but does not alter its purpose or funding sources.
