transportation tax; deposit; county board
HB 2106 clarifies how Arizona counties can levy a transportation excise tax approved by voters. It sets a maximum tax rate (up to 20% of existing business tax rates) and specifies where collected revenue must go: counties with over 400,000 residents deposit funds into a regional transportation fund, while smaller counties can choose between that fund or a public transportation authority fund. The tax applies to business transactions, electricity, and natural gas use, and must fund transportation projects in the county. This bill modifies existing tax collection rules but does not create new taxes - only defines how existing voter-approved county taxes operate.

MINOR
The bill was reformatted and renumbered for the House Engrossed version, but the core policy text remains largely unchanged. A minor formatting error in the population threshold was corrected from 'exceeding of more than' to 'exceeding', and the emergency clause was retained to ensure immediate implementation.
TECHNICAL
Corrected a redundant phrase in the funding section from 'exceeding of more than four hundred thousand' to 'exceeding four hundred thousand' for clarity.
Removed the pre-printed 'PREFILED' date and updated the header to reflect the official House Engrossed status.
Reorganized the document layout, moving the act title and description to the front and renumbering the statutory sections for the final version.
