End of Session Report 2014 End of Session Report ARIZONA PEST PROFESSIONALS ORGANIZATION Prepared by: Capitol Consulting, LLC 818 N. 1st Street Phoenix, AZ 85004 www.azcapitolconsulting.com P a g e | 2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Dear AZPPO Members: Sine Die! On April 24, 2014, the 51st Arizona Legislature adjourned sine die at 1:46 AM after 101 days in session. By rule a session can last 100 days with provisions in place for extending it. As you recall, those provisions were put to the test last year with the uncomfortably long 151-day session. The 51st Legislature, 2nd Regular Session officially commenced January 13, 2014. A total of 1,205 bills were introduced by the legislature and of those, 276 have been signed by Governor Janice K. Brewer. The session began as usual with the governor announcing policy priorities for the year during the State of the State address. The governor’s priorities were perhaps met with a little more attentiveness from the legislature after a rocky end to the 2013 session. As you may recall part of the Governor’s ambitious 2013 agenda meant crossing political boundaries at the expense of the most conservative within the state’s GOP. In 2013, the governor muscled her way to pass the Medicaid expansion. After weeks of stalled budget negotiations, the Governor called a Special Legislative Session in an effort to bypass House and Senate leadership and call Medicaid to question. The move sparked rumors of a legislative coup and drove a wedge straight through the Republican caucus, dividing the moderate and conservative members. During her final State of the State address in January, Governor Brewer focused on two priorities including a complete overhaul of the state’s defunct child protective services and a proposal to create new incentives for manufactures to set up shop in Arizona. In December Governor Brewer formed the Child Advocate Response Examination Team or ‘CARE Team’ to provide oversight for the investigation of the 6,554 uninvestigated child abuse cases and to examine the Arizona Child Protective Services (CPS) system to identify areas of concern. Following their recommendation, Governor Brewer, through an Executive Order, abolished CPS, removed it from the Department of Economic Security and replaced it with a stand-alone Cabinet-level agency that reports directly to her. In order to make the new agency permanent, the governor also requested that the legislature pass necessary statutory changes. Those changes were not passed and the legislature only funded $59 million of the $80 million that Governor Brewer requested for the agency. However the legislature did include language in the budget package that essentially committed to revisiting the issue, most likely in a Special Legislative Session once the CARE Team releases its next set of recommendations sometime in May. As far as her other policy priority that issue was met with a little less resistance. The Governor signed SB1413, a bill that eliminates sales tax on electricity purchased by manufacturers and smelting facilities. Though Governor Brewer insists the incentive is pivotal in attracting new manufacturers and retaining those already operating in Arizona, it is estimated that the incentive will cost the state around $17 million. ----------- This year AZPPO chose to take more of a defensive posture as compared to last year’s legislative agenda. As you recall, AZPPO was the impetus in passing SB1290, the bill that provided for the permanent transfer of Prepared by: Capitol Consulting, LLC | 818 N. 1st Street | Phoenix, AZ 85004 | www.azcapitolconsulting.com P a g e | 3 administrative authority from the Office of Pest Management to the Arizona Department of Agriculture and made various changes to the pest management statutes. Since the statutory overhaul, the Department of Agriculture has been in the process of a rules update in order to implement the new law. It’s typical after such a comprehensive statutory change that clean-up legislation is needed in order to clarify or make technical changes. We will have a better sense of those potential changes (if at all needed) once the rules are implemented. Two bills were introduced this year that would have had a direct impact on AZPPO members. HB2596 introduced by Representative Michelle Ugenti (R-Scottsdale), would have allowed a homeowner to choose to have the business licensee or certified applicator complete a termite action report form. Representative Ugenti indicated that the bill was the result of her home being treated for termites and subsequently appearing in the on-line report. Rep. Ugenti believed that the online reporting impacts home values and is not necessary for anyone who is not in the process of selling their home. The bill was ultimately amended via a “strike-everything amendment,” thus eliminating the proposal, in the House Government Committee. HB2437 (public committees; repeal; sunset) was signed by the governor on April 24, and will take effect on July 24, 2014. The bill repeals inactive statutory committees and provides sunset dates for active committees. Prior to the start of Session, legislative staff compiled a list of statutory committees that were inactive either because the committee fulfilled its statutory duty, the committee had membership vacancies or the committee had redundant duties. Initially the bill included the repeal of the Pest Management Advisory Board; however, we successfully amended the bill in the Senate Government and Environment Committee to preserve the Board. ----------- Included in this report are legislative proposals that AZPPO monitored and engaged-in over the course of the Session and subsequent actions. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions you may have on this year’s session or any of the AZPPO’s government affairs programs.

  • 40 Legislators Named Guardians of Small Business Each Earned NFIB Honor with Perfect Voting Record on Small‐Business Issues
    Arizona News National Federation of Independent Business 3550 North Central Avenue, Suite 1806 Phoenix, Arizona 85012 (602) 263‐7690 Fax (602) 263‐7790 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Farrell Quinlan, [email protected] Tony Malandra, [email protected] 40 Legislators Named Guardians of Small Business Each earned NFIB honor with perfect voting record on small‐business issues PHOENIX, Ariz., June 2, 2014 — The National Federation of Independent Business announced today that 27 members of the Arizona House of Representatives and 13 members of the Arizona Senate earned its coveted Guardian of Small Business award for their perfect voting records on small‐business issues during the 51st Arizona Legislature. The small business group also highlighted four extraordinary lawmakers from the ranks of the Guardians who distinguished themselves as NFIB/Arizona’s Legislators of the Year. “When they look in the mirror every legislator thinks he or she sees a small‐ business champion even though for many it’s only a politically convenient delusion,” said Farrell Quinlan, Arizona state director for NFIB. “The 40 Guardians of Small Business never wavered in their solidarity with Arizona’s small‐business owners. These legislators delivered solid proof, instead of a fleeting pose, on the issues most critical to the survival and success of our small businesses.” Senators Gail Griffin (R‐Hereford LD14) and Steve Yarbrough (R‐Chandler LD17) are recipients of the 2014 NFIB/Arizona Senator of the Year awards. Representatives J.D. Mesnard (R‐Chandler LD17) and Justin Olson (R‐Mesa The signature Minuteman trophy NFIB has given for decades to the top Guardians of LD25) are recipients of the 2014 NFIB/Arizona Representatives of the Year Small Business award recipients in state awards.

  • 2015 Legislative Report and Scorecard
    2015 LEGISLATIVE REPORT AND SCORECARD Desert Nesting Bald Eagle photo by Robin Silver ARIZONA 2015 LEGISLATIVE REPORT By Karen Michael This year Humane Voters of Arizona (HVA) joined with other animal protection groups to form the Humane Legislative Coalition of Arizona (HCLA), an alliance of local animal advocacy organizations. Member groups include HVA, Animal Defense League of Arizona, Arizona Humane Society, and Humane Society of Southern Arizona. The coalition hired Brian Tassinari, the outstanding political consultant who helped to kill last session’s bad farm animal bill. This represents the Arizona animal community’s largest effort to date to protect our state’s animals and citizen initiative rights. Polls indicate that Arizona voters strongly support endangered Mexican wolf reintroduction and farm animal protection. This was demonstrated by the outpouring of support requesting a veto of the farm animal bill. Animal protection is a nonpartisan issue. A perfect example is that two of the most vocal supporters, Senators Farley and Kavanagh, are at polar ends of the political spectrum, yet they consistently agree when it comes to fighting for animals. The Good Bills The Cat Impound Exemption Bill (SB 1260) This beneficial measure exempts impounded cats from minimum holding periods at animal control facilities if the cat is eligible for a trap, neuter, return (TNR) program. Eligible cats are sterilized and ear-tipped and returned to their outdoor homes. Best Friends Animal Society drafted the original bill, SB 1198, which was sponsored by Senator Kavanagh. The bill failed on the House floor after an amendment was added to prohibit pound fees to be charged to anyone reclaiming an impounded cat.

The Commission’s mission is to fairly, faithfully and fully implement and administer Arizona’s Citizens Clean Elections Act, which is a campaign finance reform measure initiated by Arizona citizens and passed by voters in 1998. The Act creates a campaign financing system that provides full public funding to qualified state and legislative office candidates who agree to abide by the Citizens Clean Elections Act and Commission regulations.
