Makes the following statutory and session law changes relating to K-12 education necessary to reconcile the FY 2020 state budget:
Basic State Aid – Increases transportation funding levels and the charter additional assistance (CAA) amounts for standard inflation. The base level is increased by 4.8 percent in FY 2020 for standard inflation and teacher salaries for a per-pupil increase from $3,960.07 to $4,150.43. Reduces the $257,469,900 District Additional Assistance suspension to $128,734,900 and the $13,628,800 CAA suspension to $6,814,400.
School Safety Program – Expands the School Safety Program to support the costs of placing school counselors and social workers on school campuses. School district and charter school program proposals must include outlined information relating to safety needs and implementation plans. The Arizona Department of Education (ADE) must review and administer program proposals and review the effectiveness of all approved proposals. A school district or charter school with an approved three-year program may annually submit a modified spending plan.
Results-Based Funding – Continues to require ADE to distribute monies from the Results-Based Funding Fund (Fund) in FY 2020 to schools performing in the top 13 percent, rather than the top 10 percent, on the statewide assessment at an amount based on the number of enrolled pupils eligible for the Free and Reduced-Price Lunch (FRPL) Program.
Expands Results-Based Funding eligibility in FY 2020 by awarding $225 per student count to each school district or charter school: 1) in which at least 60 percent of enrolled pupils are eligible for the FRPL Program; and 2) that performed within the top 13.1 percent to 27 percent of schools on the statewide assessment in spring 2018.
Awards $400 per student count for each alternative high school: 1) in which at least 60 percent of enrolled pupils are eligible for the FRPL Program; and 2) that performed in the top 27 percent of schools on the statewide assessment in spring 2018, rather than based upon an “A” letter grade designation. Modifies permissible expenditures of Fund monies and establishes reporting requirements. A school's determination of FRPL students or other poverty indicators is based upon those students who are eligible to be included in a school's student count.
13 School Facilities Board (SFB) – Requires the SFB to fund the construction of additional space if needed within the next two school years, rather than during the current school year. The SFB may hold a school district request if the additional space will not be needed within the next two years, rather than during the current school year. Permits the SFB to decline a portion of the funding if a portion of the additional square footage is unnecessary based upon revised enrollment projections.
Requires the SFB to use a school district's projected 100-day average daily membership (ADM) for the current school year, rather than the most recent 40-day ADM, to determine whether a school building meets minimum square footage requirements. Within 30 days of transferring monies to the Emergency Deficiencies Correction Fund, the SFB must report the amount and source of the transfer to the Directors of the Joint Legislative Budget Committee and the Governor’s Office of Strategic Planning and Budgeting. Modifies deadlines relating to a school district's capital plan for new construction or land and SFB distribution of monies for additional square footage.

Outlines requirements for incentive awards and restrictions for school districts, charter schools and CTEDs for award monies.
Subject to review and approval by the State Board of Education, directs ADE to: 1) establish an online application and reporting process with audit procedures; and 2) submit an annual report by February 1 to outlined entities summarizing information from the prior fiscal year.

By October 1, ADE must annually conform the in-demand education list to the CTE industry credentials list of approved CTE programs.
Juvenile Detention Centers – Increases the base amount for a county's juvenile detention center education fund to support a county juvenile detention center's education program, from $20,000 to $100,000, and directs any excess monies to supplement classroom spending. Increases the variable per-child amount for an education program from $15 per day to $25 per day.
Concurrent Coursework – Specifies that a concurrently enrolled student generates ADM for classes at a community college or university at a rate of one-eighth ADM for every three credits, rather than based on the combined hours the student is enrolled in at the district or charter school and at the community college or university.
14 College Credit by Examination Incentive Program (CCEIP) – Retroactive to July 1, 2018, requires ADE to annually distribute CCEIP monies by March 1, and allows school districts and charter schools to appeal the allocation of monies by August 1. ADE may withhold up to $10,000 of appropriated CCEIP monies to address appeals.
High-Quality Teacher Professional Development Pilot Program (Pilot Program) – Extends the Pilot Program to July 1, 2023, and delays the repeal of the statutory authorization to July 2, 2025. ADE may retain up to three percent of appropriated Pilot Program monies to offset administrative costs.
Small School Weight – Requires ADE, through FY 2020, to allocate the full amount of the small school weight to qualifying charter schools not sponsored by the State Board for Charter Schools (SBCS) and to restore any previously withheld monies. ADE may not seek repayment of monies allocated in prior fiscal years. ADE must provide charter schools not sponsored by the SBCS with 67 percent of the small school weight in FY 2021 and 33 percent of the small school weight in FY 2022.
General Budget Limit Increases – Increases the budget limits in FY 2020 for the Duncan Unified School District by $300,000 and for the Blue Elementary School District by $46,000. The school districts must use the budget increases for capital items and must fund the increases using prior-year carryforward monies, rather than by increasing primary or secondary property tax rates.
Miscellaneous – Sets a county's state equalization assistance property tax rate for the current fiscal year at the lesser of the statutory rate or the rate that would have generated the amount needed to fund total equalization assistance for the county's school districts in the prior fiscal year. Directs ADE to contract with a third-party administrator to assist in the financial administration of empowerment scholarship accounts. Asserts that monies in the American Civics Education Fund are continuously appropriated, rather than subject to legislative appropriation. The Board of the Arizona State Schools for the Deaf and the Blind may use Enterprise Fund monies for costs outside of facility operations. higher education; budget reconciliation; 2019-2020.

Makes several changes relating to litigation arising out of construction defects in dwelling actions and continues the Construction Liability Apportionment Study Committee for one year, until October 1, 2020, retroactive to June 30, 2019.
85
Right to Repair – Establishes the right of a seller's construction professional to repair or replace alleged construction defects before commencement of a dwelling action by the purchaser. A purchaser may not file a dwelling action until the seller's construction professional has completed the intended repairs and replacements. A seller who receives notice from a purchaser regarding an alleged defect must promptly forward the notice to the last known address of each construction professional who the seller reasonably believes to be responsible for an alleged defect and outlines how notice may be provided. A construction professional's insurer must treat a dwelling action notice as a notice of claim under the terms and conditions of the insurance policy. Requires the response a seller provides a purchaser after receipt of notice of alleged defects to include repairs or replacements that a seller's construction professional intends to make, if applicable. A contractor or subcontractor that was not involved in the construction or design of the dwelling and who performs any repair or replacement of the alleged defect is liable only to the seller or purchaser who contracted for the services within the contractor's or subcontractor's scope of work. Tolls the statute of limitations and statute of repose that apply to the seller's claim for indemnity or contribution against any construction professional from the date the seller receives notice from the purchaser until nine months after the purchaser's service of the civil complaint or arbitration demand on the seller. A construction professional's repair or replacement efforts are admissible in evidence but are not considered settlement communications. Requires a purchaser who files a contested dwelling action to file an affidavit with the purchaser's complaint, under penalty of perjury, that the purchaser: 1) has read the entire complaint; 2) agrees with all allegations and facts contained in the complaint; and 3) is not receiving and has not been promised anything of value in exchange for filing the dwelling action, unless statutorily authorized. A dwelling action notice provided by a purchaser must: 1) describe the alleged defects with sufficient detail to allow the seller or seller's construction professional to identify the alleged defect; and 2) include the street address for each dwelling that is the subject of the notice. Bifurcation of Dwelling Action Proceedings – Requires the determination of whether a construction defect exists, the amount of damages caused by the construction defect and who may have caused the defect to be bifurcated from and take place in a separate phase of the trial or alternative dispute resolution process from the phase of the proceeding determining relative degree of fault of the defendant or third-party defendant. Bifurcation is required unless a court finds it not appropriate. For each construction defect found to exist, a trier of fact in a dwelling action must first determine if a construction defect exists and the amount of damages caused by the defect. The trier of fact must identify each seller or construction professional whose conduct may have caused the construction defect. If feasible, the identified construction professionals must be joined as third-party defendants in the proceeding. The trier of fact must then determine the relative degree of fault of any defendant or third-party defendant. The seller has the burden to prove the pro rata share of liability of any third-party defendant. The pro rata share of liability must be allocated based on relative degree of fault. Expresses the Legislature's intent that: 1) the bifurcation process does not alter the seller's liability under the seller's implied warranty to the purchaser; and 2) the issues of existence of a construction defect, damages, causation and apportionment of fault be tried in one trial.
86
Indemnity Agreements in Dwelling Contracts – Voids, as against public policy, specified agreements in a dwelling construction contract or architect-engineer professional service contract, that purport to insure, indemnify or hold harmless, the promisee from or against liability for loss or damage, resulting from the negligence of the promisee or the promisee's indemnitees, employees, subcontractors, consultants or agents, other than the promisor. A contractor who is responsible for the performance of a dwelling construction contract may fully indemnify a person whose account the construction contract is not being performed and who, as an accommodation, enters into an indemnity agreement with the contractor that allows the contractor to enter on or adjacent to the property to perform the construction contract for others.
Specifies that any additional insured endorsement as part of an indemnity agreement or collateral to a dwelling construction contract does not obligate the insurer to indemnify the additional insured for the percentage of fault that is allocated to the additional insured. Limits a covenant, clause or understanding in, collateral to or affecting a construction contract or architect-engineer professional service contract that requires the promisor to defend the promisee to claims arising out of or related to the promisor's work or operations. Applies the indemnity agreement restrictions to all construction contracts and architect-engineer professional service contracts involving a dwelling between private parties, with outlined exceptions.
Awarding of Attorney Fees – Allows a court or tribunal, in a contested dwelling action, to award the prevailing party reasonable attorney fees and taxable costs with respect to each contested issue. A purchaser is deemed the prevailing party with respect to a contested issue if the relief obtained by the purchaser for that contested issue, excluding fees and taxable costs, is more favorable than the repairs or replacements and offers made by the seller before the purchaser filed the dwelling action. A seller is deemed the prevailing party with respect to a contested issue if the relief obtained by the purchaser for that contested issue, exclusive of any fees and taxable costs, is not more favorable than the repairs or replacements and offers made by the seller before the purchaser filed the dwelling action.
Limits the award of attorney fees to the amount of fees actually and reasonably incurred with respect to the contested issue for which the party has been deemed the prevailing party. Outlines factors the court or tribunal must consider when evaluating whether the attorney fees are reasonable. A court or tribunal, in a contested dwelling action that involves a single purchaser, may award the prevailing party reasonable expert witness fees with respect to a contested issue.

87

LEGISLATION ENACTED
industrial hemp; licensing; effective date (S.B. 1003/H.B. 2273) – Chapter 5 E An emergency measure effective February 20, 2019, that requires the Arizona Department of Agriculture (AZDA) to adopt the initial rules for regulating industrial hemp by May 31, 2019. State regulation of industrial hemp is effective June 1, 2019, rather than August 3, 2019. The AZDA is exempt from rulemaking requirements until August 3, 2019, to implement the rules.
racetracks; ejection; exclusion; process (S.B. 1144) – Chapter 197 Allows a racing licensee to be ejected or excluded from a racing meeting or a racetrack enclosure, if the track stewards issue a ruling that the person's participation is detrimental to the integrity of horse racing or would interfere with the orderly conduct of horse racing. Establishes a process and prescribes timelines for the determination to be appealed. The Arizona Racing Commission must adopt rules for ejection or exclusion that include procedures to ensure the due process and property rights of all involved parties. Allocates one percent of in-state racing handle monies to the Arizona Department of Gaming for distribution to a qualified nonprofit organization representing Arizona horse breeders. The allocation phases in over three years, until full distribution in FY 2022. The nonprofit organization must use distributed monies to provide awards to Arizona-bred horses and breeders and to promote adoption of retired Arizona racehorses.
Colorado River drought contingency amendments (S.B. 1227/H.B. 2545) – Chapter 1 E An emergency measure effective January 31, 2019, that makes various changes to the management of water supplies, eligibility for and exchange of long-term storage credits, and groundwater fees collected in certain localities. Establishes the Arizona System Conservation Fund (System Conservation Fund) and appropriates $30 million from the state General Fund in FY 2020 to the System Conservation Fund. The Director of the Arizona Department of Water Resources (ADWR) may expend monies from the System Conservation Fund to contract with Colorado River water users in Arizona to forgo water deliveries or diversions to create system conservation. Created system conservation must reduce consumptive use of Colorado River water conserved in Lake Mead in order to decrease the likelihood of lake elevations dropping to levels that could result in reductions to Arizona's Colorado River allocation. Redirects the $2 million state General Fund appropriation to ADWR in FY 2020 for use of conservation in Lake Mead to the ADWR Augmentation and Conservation Assistance Fund to provide additional monies for conservation grants for conservation of groundwater in the active management areas (AMAs). The System Conservation Fund is repealed on April 1, 2027.
112
Establishes the Temporary Groundwater and Irrigation Efficiency Projects Fund (Efficiency Projects Fund) for well construction and rehabilitation grant projects in qualified irrigation districts in the Phoenix AMA, the Pinal AMA and the Harquahala Irrigation Non-expansion Area. Appropriates $7 million from the state General Fund in FY 2019 to the Efficiency Projects Fund and redirects the $2 million state General Fund appropriation to ADWR in FY 2019 for use of conservation in Lake Mead to the Efficiency Projects Fund. In calendar years 2020 through 2026 in the Pinal AMA, the groundwater withdrawal fee for water banking purposes is replaced with a fee for groundwater and irrigation efficiency projects, capped at $2.50 per acre-foot per year. The Efficiency Projects Fund is repealed on April 1, 2028. Allows a storer of effluent to recover 95 percent of the recoverable amount of effluent stored for a calendar year in an existing effluent managed underground storage facility under certain conditions. If a storer recovers less than 95 percent of the recoverable amount, the difference is credited to the storer's long-term storage account to the extent the stored water is eligible for credit. Long-term storage credits accrued after January 31, 2019, for water stored at an existing effluent managed underground storage facility may be used to demonstrate an assured water supply or an adequate water supply. Allows storage of the following to qualify as water that cannot be used directly beyond the current 2025 sunset date: 1) effluent; 2) water from outside the AMA that would not have reached the AMA where the storage facility is located without the efforts of the storer; 3) water from outside the groundwater basin that would not have reached the groundwater basin where the storage facility is located without the efforts of the storer; and 4) water that is delivered through the Central Arizona Project and acquired by the Arizona Water Banking Authority (AWBA). Permitted water stored at a storage facility may be credited to a long-term storage account under certain conditions to assist in implementing the Lower Basin Drought Contingency Plan. Allows the AWBA, until December 31, 2019, to enter into agreements to exchange long-term storage credits accrued or purchased in one AMA with groundwater withdrawal fee monies collected in the Tucson, Phoenix or Pinal AMAs for long-term storage credits held by a person in another AMA under certain conditions and exempts the exchange from ADWR exchange fees. The AWBA may distribute or extinguish long-term storage credits obtained by exchange for the benefit of any AMA, rather than only for the benefit of the AMA where the groundwater withdrawal fee monies were collected. An exchange agreement may not extend beyond December 31, 2026. Repeals the AWBA's credit exchange authority on January 1, 2031. Prescribes reporting requirements to the Director of ADWR for Drought Contingency Plan agreements and fund activities.
