HB 4025 establishes a study committee to examine Arizona's reliance on imported gasoline (notably from California, which supplies ~50% of the state's fuel, especially in Phoenix and Maricopa County) and study the feasibility of building local refineries. The committee, appointed by legislative leaders, must report by October 1, 2027, on gasoline supply issues and refinery options, with the committee dissolving after December 31, 2027. This bill directly addresses concerns about supply vulnerabilities affecting consumers but does not enact new regulations or funding.
