Steve Court, LD 18 Summary: Establishes a 13-member Committee to study, make recommendations and propose legislation to revise Arizona’s tax code to reflect a 21st century economy. Our economy used to be focused on agriculture and manufacturing; today services are the dominant economic engine. This committee is responsible for making proposals to reflect the evolving economy. The Committee must submit a report to the Governor and the Legislature by October 31, 2012. Result: HB 2123 passed out of the House with a 58-0 vote and the Senate with a 28-0 vote and was signed into law by the Governor.
