HB 2106: transportation tax; deposit; county board

HB 2106 clarifies how Arizona counties can levy a transportation excise tax approved by voters. It sets a maximum tax rate (up to 20% of existing business tax rates) and specifies where collected revenue must go: counties with over 400,000 residents deposit funds into a regional transportation fund, while smaller counties can choose between that fund or a public transportation authority fund. The tax applies to business transactions, electricity, and natural gas use, and must fund transportation projects in the county. This bill modifies existing tax collection rules but does not create new taxes - only defines how existing voter-approved county taxes operate.

HB 2094: assured water supply; certificate; model

HB 2094 allows Arizona's Department of Water Resources to review pending applications for "certificate of assured water supply" in the Phoenix Active Management Area (submitted between 2021-2023 but not yet approved). It requires municipal water providers to calculate and assign 25% of their annual excess groundwater deliveries as long-term storage credits to the Central Arizona Groundwater Replenishment District. This assignment reduces the provider's annual replenishment tax obligation and continues as long as the land retains groundwater replenishment requirements. The bill expires December 31, 2028, and applies only to applications supported by specific historical groundwater models.
