2026-2027; revenue.
This bill establishes fees for Arizona counties, cities, towns, councils of governments, and regional transportation authorities to fund the state Department of Revenue's integrated tax system modernization project. The fees, which apply from June 2022 through June 2029, are calculated based on the amount of state shared revenue each local entity receives and are collected by the department. If a local government fails to pay the fee by December 31, the state treasurer will withhold future state revenue distributions until the debt is settled. All collected funds are placed in a dedicated project fund and can only be used to cover the actual administrative and operating costs of the tax system upgrade.

MODERATE
This bill updates the text and formatting of Arizona's integrated tax system modernization fee structure for the 2026-2027 fiscal year. It clarifies the specific dollar caps for fees and transfers, adds detailed guidelines for how fees are distributed among different government entities, and extends the project timeline.
Scope change
The scope of the fee distribution guidelines was expanded to explicitly include councils of governments and regional transportation authorities in the apportionment formula, whereas the previous version focused primarily on counties, cities, and towns.
TIMELINE
The project timeline was extended from ending June 30, 2028, to ending June 30, 2029.
FISCAL
Specific maximum fee caps were added for fiscal year 2026-2027: $6,286,300 for total fees, $762,300 for transfers from sales tax, and $169,800 for transfers from fuel tax.
REQUIREMENT
New subsections were added to Section 2 to define exactly how the fee share is calculated for councils of governments and regional transportation authorities based on historical revenue distributions.
TECHNICAL
The bill text was reformatted to correct inconsistencies in section references (e.g., changing 'section SECTIONS' to 'sections') and updated the header to reflect the House Engrossed version.
