HB 2007 would allow human-use ivermectin to be sold without a prescription in Arizona. The bill directly affects pharmacies, retailers, and consumers who currently need a prescription to purchase human-formulated ivermectin. Its key provision removes the requirement for a prescription or health professional consultation for over-the-counter sale of human-use ivermectin. The bill does not change regulations for veterinary ivermectin or other prescription drugs. (Note: Bill is prefiled for 2025 and not yet enacted.)
This is not a legislative bill but a **procedural memorial** from the Arizona House of Representatives (HM 2002), not a law. It urges the U.S. President and Congress to withdraw from the USMCA trade agreement and block efforts to create a North American Union (NAU), arguing such integration threatens U.S. constitutional independence and borders. The memorial claims the USMCA and related agreements are steps toward a supranational government (like the EU) and a UN world government, which it asserts violates constitutional authority over foreign commerce. It has no legal effect and is not a bill requiring a vote.
HB 2012 amends Arizona's vehicle registration fees to adjust charges for alternative fuel vehicles. It sets fees for vehicles running *exclusively* on alternative fuel (not motor vehicle fuel) at $85 multiplied by the ratio of motor fuel tax to $0.18, and for hybrid vehicles using both at $40 multiplied by the same ratio. This directly affects owners of alternative fuel vehicles (like electric or hydrogen-powered cars) by changing their annual registration fee calculation. The bill does not alter fees for conventional gasoline/diesel vehicles (still $8 annually) or other vehicle types. It is a technical adjustment to align registration fees with fuel tax rates, not a policy change on alternative fuels.
HB 2017 requires Arizona's Department of Health Services and Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System to add specific links to their public website by December 1, 2026. The links must direct users to easily accessible information about pregnancy support agencies (excluding those providing abortion services), adoption agencies (excluding those affiliated with abortion providers), and free services like ultrasounds and counseling. All content must be available in English and Spanish, with a dedicated AdoptionOption.AZ.gov webpage listing adoption agencies, first steps for confidential adoption exploration, and agency-specific details. The bill mandates that all information be downloadable in print format, directly affecting pregnant women seeking non-abortion support services in Arizona.
HB 2019 creates a new tax exemption for married individuals under age 25, regardless of income source. It directly affects married couples where both spouses are under 25 years old, exempting them from Arizona's individual income tax for tax years beginning after December 31, 2026. The bill adds Section 43-1043 to the tax code, requiring the state tax department to establish a verification process for eligibility. This is a concrete policy change that eliminates income tax liability for this specific group starting in 2027.
HB 2021 establishes Arizona's K-3 reading program to improve early literacy for students in kindergarten through third grade. It requires school districts and charter schools to develop annual reading improvement plans, ensure at least one teacher per school receives dyslexia training, and use state funding (from the "K-3 reading support level weight") exclusively for evidence-based reading instruction. The bill mandates annual reporting on program results, including student reading proficiency data and spending, and prioritizes support for schools with higher percentages of struggling readers. It directly affects K-3 public school students, teachers, and school districts by setting specific curriculum, training, and funding requirements.
HB 2243 creates Arizona's "Medical Aid in Dying" program, allowing terminally ill adults to obtain a prescription for self-administered medication to end their life. It directly affects Arizona residents with a terminal illness (expected to die within six months) who have full decision-making capacity and meet strict safeguards. Key provisions require two non-family witnesses to sign a written request, mandatory counseling to rule out depression, physician evaluations confirming the terminal diagnosis, and detailed discussions about all treatment alternatives - including hospice and palliative care - before a prescription is issued. The law prohibits physicians from administering medication and requires patients to self-ingest the medication, with all steps documented for the Department of Health Services.
HB 2605 amends Arizona law to establish a dedicated telecommunications fund managed by the Department of Administration. The fund collects money from legislative appropriations, grants (non-dedicated), fees for telecom services, asset sales, and payments from agencies using the telecom program. It requires the Department to create an annual report detailing all fund sources, spending, and future plans, which must be posted on the department's website. This bill directly affects the Department of Administration (as fund manager) and all state agencies using telecom services (as fund contributors). The key change is mandating transparent, publicly accessible reporting on fund usage.
HB 2526 is a technical correction to Arizona law that clarifies which judicial activities may occur on legal holidays. It amends Section 1-302 of the Arizona Revised Statutes to explicitly permit public offices and courts to handle specific judicial business on holidays, including jury instructions, receiving verdicts, and magistrate actions in criminal cases. This bill directly affects Arizona public offices and courts by updating the existing holiday closure rules. It does not create new policies but corrects wording in the current statute. The bill is currently at the House First Reading stage (June 27, 2025).
HCR 2007 proposes a constitutional amendment to clarify Arizona's aircraft license tax law. It would establish a license tax on aircraft registered in Arizona (replacing all property taxes on qualifying aircraft) while explicitly excluding commercial airlines, aircraft dealers' inventory, nonresidents operating under 90 days, and government/public service aircraft. The amendment requires voter approval and aims to resolve ambiguities in the current tax structure without creating new taxes or changing existing exemptions. This affects all aircraft owners in Arizona subject to the license tax, excluding the specified categories.
HB 2326 is a technical correction to Arizona's consumer fraud law (ARS § 44-1527), clarifying procedures for the Attorney General's office during investigations. It specifically adjusts language about when courts may review evidence privately (in camera) without disclosing it to respondents, ensuring the Attorney General can protect ongoing investigations. The bill does not change what constitutes consumer fraud or add new penalties; it only refines the existing legal process for handling subpoenas and court requests. This affects how the Attorney General conducts fraud investigations and how courts manage evidence in related cases. The bill is procedural and does not alter substantive consumer protection rules.
HCR 2005 is a proposed constitutional amendment to Arizona's Article IX, Section 3, clarifying existing tax language. It would require that all state taxes explicitly state their purpose (which must be followed) and mandate that taxes collected for state purposes be paid into the state treasury in money only. This amendment does not create new taxes or change tax rates; it only refines the constitutional wording governing how annual taxes are structured and applied. The proposal requires voter approval at the next general election, as specified in Arizona's constitution.
