HB 2125 Arizona House · 57th Legislature - First Regular Session

insurance coverage; hearing aids; children

This bill (HB 2125) has a misleading title ("insurance coverage; hearing aids; children") that does not match its actual content. The bill amends Arizona Revised Statutes sections 48-3112 and 48-3151 to update financial procedures for irrigation districts. Key provisions include requiring districts to provide detailed annual financial estimates, setting specific 8-year time limits for legal claims related to long-term water contracts (20+ years), and clarifying assessment collection rules. It applies to claims commenced on or after the bill's effective date, overriding prior statutes that might have set different deadlines. The bill directly affects irrigation districts, municipal water providers, and landowners subject to district assessments.

MODERATE

This bill completely transforms HB 2125 from a health insurance mandate requiring coverage for hearing aids for children into a water district financial management law. The original version mandated health care services organizations to cover hearing aids for children under 18 or 21, while the new version establishes procedures for water districts to estimate annual financial requirements and levy assessments for district operations and debt repayment.

Scope change

The bill's scope changed from health insurance regulation to water district financial administration, affecting a completely different set of entities and legal provisions.

SCOPE

Removed all provisions related to health insurance coverage for hearing aids, which previously required health care services organizations to provide full coverage for hearing aids and related services for children under 18 or 21.

Changed the amended Arizona Revised Statutes sections from 20-1057.20 (health care) to 48-3112 and 48-3151 (water districts), fundamentally altering which laws are being modified.

FISCAL

Added requirements for water district boards of directors to estimate annual financial requirements including bond obligations, maintenance, operating expenses, and land purchases by July 1 each year.

REQUIREMENT

Added new requirements for water districts to itemize financial estimates showing amounts for each fund and transmit certified copies to county boards of supervisors with land descriptions.

ENFORCEMENT

Added statute of limitations provisions requiring claims between water districts and municipal water providers regarding long-term contracts to be brought within eight years after the claim accrues.
