enter into a lease and the 20 year option to renew leases with the Grand
Canyon national park airport. The nonprofit corporation leasing the Grand
Canyon national park airport is exempt from statutory code on highways,
property liens, the personnel system, and rule making procedures or the
procurement code. An emergency clause is included, therefore becoming
effective upon signature of the Governor.
[SB 1243] APPROPRIATIONS; HIGHWAY PATROL
(Laws 2001, Chapter 1)
(Sen. Aguirre and 2; Rep. Avelar) Appropriates roughly $26 million to
the Department of Public Safety (DPS) for FTEs. The amount
appropriated from the highway-user revenue fund (HURF) to DPS is
intended for additional hires, overtime pay, and highway patrol vehicle
replacement. Contains an emergency clause, which upon signature of the
Governor, goes into effect immediately.
[SB 1251] FLIGHT PROPERTY TAX REVENUE DISTRIBUTION S/E,
NOW: FLIGHT PROPERTY TAX REVENUE

[SB 1271] FUEL TAXES; REVISIONS
(Laws 2001, Chapter 287)
(Sen. Aguirre; Rep. Avelar) Makes multiple technical and conforming
changes to current statutory provisions regarding fuel suppliers, vendors,
and fuel consumers by establishing a structure under Title 28. Specifies
the particular agencies that have enforcement authority pertaining to
regulation of fuel suppliers, vendors, and reporting. Changes the definition
of motor fuel to include gasoline, diesel, and aviation among other
clarifying changes.
[SB 1272] ADOT; PROPERTY; RIGHT OF WAY
(Laws 2001, Chapter 100)
(Sen. Aguirre; Rep. Avelar) Changes are made to the processes and
authority that the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) has
involving the disposal of excess land owned by the Department including
environmental mitigation and banking credits. Gives the Director
authority to sell property by direct sale if the property fails to sell at
auction for the low appraisal amount. If the unneeded property is unable
to sell for the low appraisal amount, it can then be sold at a price as low as
or equal to 80 percent of the low appraisal amount. In the case that more
than one person makes an offer at or above the 80 percent level, another
auction must be held. The bill also eliminates new provisions concerning
telecommunications lease issues. In addition, the bill eliminates proposed
Department exemption regarding notification to cities, towns, or counties
relating to abandonment of street improvements and reconnections when a
highway is completed, but a 120 day advanced notice must be given by the
Department.
[SB 1286] GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEE HEALTH INSURANCE

(Sen. Solomon) Increases the statutory expenditure amount that can be
spent on state health and accident coverage for state employees and their

[SB 1349] HURF DISTRIBUTION ADJUSTMENTS S/E, NOW: HURF
ALLOCATION ADJUSTMENTS
(Laws 2001, Chapter 40)
(Sen. Arzberger and 6) The Arizona Department of Transportation is
required to make adjustments to the Highway User Revenue Fund (HURF)
and vehicle license tax (VLT) allocations that do not exceed twenty-five
percent each month. In the case that an overage occurs in HURF and VLT
allocations, ADOT is required to reduce the monthly allocation by the
amount of the overage as long as the remaining amount is at least 75
percent of the original allocation.
[SB 1369] VEHICLE LAWS; DIPLOMATIC IMMUNITIES; PRIVILEDGES
(Laws 2001, Chapter 206)
(Sen. Guenther and Aguirre) Establishes a requirement for law
enforcement officers to obtain verification of a driver’s status by the State
department and submit a report on moving violations committed by
foreign diplomats to the Department of Public Safety within five business
days. The Department of Public Safety is responsible for records retention
and reporting the incidents to the US Department of State within another
five business days upon receiving report of the incident.
[SB 1371] DIESEL PROGRAM; APPLICATION PRIORITY; CORRECTION

alternative fuel vehicles and AFV fuel delivery systems. Contracts and
purchase orders for purchase or conversion of a vehicle must have been
made before October 20, 2000 to be considered eligible. If contracts and
purchase orders are eligible, grants may be made until October 1, 2001 for
conversion or replacement of diesel vehicles, but no more than $6.5
million can be distributed. After FY 2000-2001, no clean air fuel grants
are to be made. The method to calculate mandated alternative fuel is
changed as well as the definition of “new” vehicle. An emergency clause
has been added, therefore the bill will immediately go into effect upon the
Governor’s signature.
[SB 1400] SALES TAX; ARIZONA HIGHWAYS
(Laws 2001, Chapter 36)
(Sen. Bundgaard) Provides an exemption from transaction privilege
taxation (TPT) for leased or rented promotional materials used on
publications to encourage tourism.

[SB 1429] HYBRID VEHICLES; HOV LANE USE
(Laws 2001, Chapter 168)
(Sen. Blanchard and 8; Rep. Burton Cahill Rep.) Permits persons
driving hybrid vehicles to use the High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes
without requiring a certain number of passengers in the vehicle, provided
that the federal government approves. A Hybrid Vehicle is one that is
factory manufactured to be less fuel consuming and energy efficient. It
must also receive approval by the US Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) as meeting the minimum ultra low emission standard. A person
owning a hybrid vehicle is eligible to apply for an alternative fuels plate
and hybrid vehicle sticker for privilege to use the HOV lanes regardless of
passenger number.
[SB 1436] CHILD SUPPORT; EMPLOYER COOPERATION
(Laws 2001, Chapter 121)
(Sen. Petersen) As part of a support or maintenance proceeding,
employers are forced to cooperate with a child support enforcement entity
when requesting information. All requests would now be part of the
proceeding and not the order. The bill also specifies what information may
be identified and located.
[SB 1455] AIR QUALITY; ORDER OF ABATEMENT
(Laws 2001, Chapter 292)
(Sen. Guenther and 2; Rep. Huffman and 5) Changes current statutes
regarding state and county order of abatement, which prohibits renewals

the Director of the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) or a
County Control Officer if good cause is presented.
[SB 1525] PRESERVATION OF MILITARY AIRPORTS
(Laws 2001, Chapter 23)
(Sen. Hamilton and Bowers) Legislation that was adopted in 2000
required the Attorney General (AG) to enforce planning, zoning, and
sound requirements within a territory in the area of military airports. It
also established civil penalties for noncompliance. This bill enhances the
notification requirements of proposed development in the area of military
airports as well as reduces the size and scope of the area responsible for
reporting to the AG about the compliance of military airport compatibility.
Among other things, the bill also requires property owners in a high noise
and accident potential zone to notify potential buyers or renters about the
property status and requirements of military airport compatibility.

Transportation Legislation Vetoed By the Governor
• Note – Arizona Legislative Information Systems (ALIS) and Legislation On Line in Arizona (LOLA)
were important sources in compiling the following summaries.
HOUSE BILLS:
[HB 2070] EMISSION INSPECTION; MODIFICATIONS AND EXEMPTIONS
(Rep. Huffman and 2) The State Department of Environmental Quality
would have had to adopt emissions standards for motor vehicles and for
testing those vehicles manufactured in 1981 or after, to allow an on-board
diagnostic (OBD) check instead of the current requirements of the curb
idle and loaded test condition. The OBD check would have fallen under
the requirements of Title II of the Clean Air Act. Construction of an
emission testing station in Apache Junction would have needed to begin
on or before June 1, 2004, for part of Pinal county to be exempt from
emission testing. (See veto message, p. )
[HB 2376] CONTRACTS; TAX ADJUSTMENT
(Rep. Cooley and 10; Sen. Brown) Unless the taxpayer had a contract
clause by which they could recover the cost of the new tax, the sixth-tenths
sales tax increase for schools, approved by voters in Nov. 2000,
would not have applied to business contracts made before June 1, 2001.
Would have required public works contracts to provide a cost adjustment
for the increased tax rate. (See veto message, p. )
[HB 2490] EMISSIONS TESTING; PINAL COUNTY
(Rep. Chase and 24; Sen. Rios) A committee incorporating legislative
members, members of the public, and a representative from the
Department of Environmental Quality would have been created to study
where to place vehicle emission testing stations for the remaining 2001
year. If the city of Apache Junction did not get an emission testing station
before June 1, 2004, a section of Pinal County would have been exempt
from the emission test. (See veto message, p )
[HB 2537] REGULATORY REFORM
(Rep. Allen and May) Would have modified statute in regards to agency
regulatory approval process. A study committee would have been
established to recommend implementing a regulatory budget, state agency
compliance with federal requirements, and other regulatory issues. Each
December, agencies would have needed to publish regulatory agendas for
the prospecting year. (See veto message, p )

45th Legislature
1st Regular Session
2001
Transportation Legislation Vetoed By the Governor
• Note – Arizona Legislative Information Systems (ALIS) and Legislation On Line in Arizona (LOLA)
were important sources in compiling the following summaries.
HOUSE BILLS:
[HB 2622] SALES TAX; CONTRACTOR’S SOLAR EXEMPTION
(Rep. Graf and 5) Would have required the transaction privilege tax
exemption for the installation of solar devices under the prime contracting
classification to expire on December 31, 2001, not at the end of 2011. The
amount the contractor would have made on the contract, not the retail cost
of the device, would have been the basis for the exemption. (See veto
message, p )
SENATE BILLS:
[SB 1123] INFORMATION PROTECTION; PLANNING; DEVELOPMENT
(Sen. Valadez and 15; Rep. Soltero) Would have required the Arizona
National Guard to organize a Computer Emergency Response Team to
protect the state National Guard networks. The Statewide Infrastructure
Protection Center (SIPC) would have been established in the state
Department of Emergency and Military Affairs Division of Emergency
Management. (See veto message, p )
[SB 1389] ARIZONA AGRICULTURAL HERITAGE ACT
(Sen. Guenther and Arzberger; Rep. O’Halleran and 2) Would have
established the Arizona Heritage Commission and Arizona Agricultural
Heritage Fund to promote a process of distribution of monies in the fund
to applicants for agricultural easements. Defined agricultural easement as
a “conservation easement established in accordance with the Uniform
Conservation Easement Act.” (See veto message, p )
