technical correction; payment method

HB 2522 is a technical correction to Arizona's tax payment law (ARS § 42-5018). It clarifies that non-cash payments (like checks, electronic transfers, or money orders) are not considered final payment until the tax department actually receives cash. This directly affects taxpayers who pay state taxes and ensures the department's records reflect when a tax liability is fully settled. The bill makes no new policy changes, only fixing confusing language in the existing statute.
