    Governor Doug Ducey Senator Karen Fann, Senate President Arizona State Capitol Executive Tower Senator Rick Gray, Senate Majority Leader Representative Rusty Bowers, Senator Rebecca Rios, Senate Speaker of the House Democratic Leader Representative Ben Toma, House Senator Lupe Contreras, Assistant Majority Leader Senate Democratic Leader Representative Reginald Bolding, Senator Martin Quezada, Senate House Democratic Leader Democratic Whip Representative Jennifer Longdon, Senator Victoria Steele, Senate Assistant House Democratic Leader Democratic Whip Representative Domingo DeGrazia, Arizona Senate House Democratic Whip Arizona House of Representatives February 24, 2021 FOR ELECTRONIC DELIVERY Dear Governor Ducey and leaders of the Arizona legislature: Our organizations are influential throughout the state advocating for a diverse range of issues that Arizonans care deeply about. We do not often have the opportunity to work together, but we do so at this critical time to urge you to pass a state budget that builds a stronger future for all Arizonans with investments in infrastructure, health care, and jobs. Arizonans are concerned with how they and their families will get through this health and economic crisis and they are looking to you to provide the investments that foster job training and skill acquisition; and assist working families struggling to afford the basics. You can choose which road Arizona will take toward the future: one in which the state adequately funds vital resources so that all Arizonans have the supports needed to move up the economic ladder or a fiscally irresponsible and disastrous path for Arizona’s future that relies on cutting taxes and shuts the door on Arizona’s economic growth.

    Governor Douglas A.

As the rate of COVID-19 infection reaches new peaks, it is essential that our state legislature recognize and respond to the reality in which we are living. In Arizona and across the country, Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) individuals, low-income families, and People with Disabilities are being disproportionately impacted by the novel coronavirus disease and its impact on the economy. Now more than ever it is imperative that our state leaders take bold steps to ensure that the voices of those most vulnerable can be heard at the Capitol without risking public health and welfare. Current legislative processes, including short-notice meeting agendas, unnecessary and opaque constraints on use of the Request to Speak system, a lack of remote participation options, and hours of operation that inhibit participation by everyday people have, for too long, allowed only those privileged with time, knowledge, and economic security to have their voices heard at the state legislature.

  • Bulletin 5: February 12, 2021
    Issue 5 – February 12, 2021 Legislative Update Today is the 33rd day of session and 1,707 bills and 113 memorials or resolutions have been introduced. The period to introduce legislation is now over for both chambers. Except for budget bills, no new legislation can be introduced. Next week is the last week to hear bills in the chamber of origin, which means that committees for the week will have lengthy agendas as legislators try to get their bills heard before the deadline. The legislature continues to move swiftly. So far, the Governor has signed 18 bills, while 12 await his signature or veto. Utility Condemnation This week the Senate Commerce discussed a strike-everything amendment to SB1154 related to eminent domain, sponsored by Sen. J.D. Mesnard (R-Chandler), but did not take a vote on the bill. It has been rescheduled for a hearing in next Wednesday at 2 p.m. in the same committee. The striker amendment would require a city or town exercising eminent domain to file one or more appraisals with the superior court that support the proposed compensation for the condemnation. The League testified in opposition in committee because the current statutes already require cities and towns to obtain and deliver an appraisal to the utility being condemned, but the appraisal itself is not admitted in the superior court case due to procedural rules. The amendment isn’t clear about how the court is supposed to handle the appraisal once its filed, which will likely lead to increased attorneys’ fees to litigate over the role of the appraisal in the court case.
