HB 2606 requires Arizona homeowners' associations (HOAs) to provide members with access to specific financial and operational records upon written request. It mandates that HOAs make these records available within 10 business days, limit copy fees to $0.15 per page, and prohibits charging for review access. The bill specifies exactly which records qualify (e.g., budgets, assessments, insurance policies, meeting minutes for the past three years) while allowing HOAs to withhold certain sensitive information like attorney communications, pending litigation details, or personal member data. This bill directly affects HOA members seeking transparency into association finances and governance.
HB 2586 appropriates $1 million annually from 2026-2029 from the special services fund to Arizona's Department of Corrections for holistic studio-based rehabilitative programming. This funding directly supports incarcerated individuals through structured, creative interventions aimed at reducing self-harm, disciplinary incidents, and repeat offenses. The bill requires the Department to submit a detailed report by June 2030, documenting program outcomes including data on reduced self-harm, disciplinary actions, and recidivism rates. It does not change existing laws but allocates specific funds for evidence-based rehabilitation programs with measurable reporting requirements.
HB 2706 requires corporations and limited liability companies (LLCs) to register with Arizona's Corporation Commission before purchasing single-family homes, condos, or townhomes. It exempts owners with fewer than 10 properties, government entities, 501(c)(3) nonprofits, land trusts, group homes, and employers renting to employees. The bill mandates a public online registry of registered buyers, imposes $20,000 civil penalties for non-compliance, and adds a 90-day market period rule preventing corporate purchases unless a property has been listed for over 90 days or had a price change. These provisions aim to increase transparency around corporate real estate activity while focusing on direct policy changes for commercial buyers.
This bill requires Arizona insurers to offer Medicare supplement insurance plans to people under 65 with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) on the same terms as those 65 and older, including identical benefits and no higher premiums. It mandates that insurers cannot charge these younger enrollees more for supplemental coverage than they charge 65+ enrollees. The law also creates a special enrollment period (December 2, 2025 - June 1, 2027) for individuals with ESRD or ALS who are enrolled in Medicare Part B due to their condition. These provisions ensure equal access to supplemental insurance for this specific group without age-based premium discrimination.
HB 2335 prohibits health professionals in Arizona from refusing medical care to patients based solely on their vaccination status. It directly affects healthcare providers (like doctors and nurses) and patients, making such refusal an act of "unprofessional conduct" under state law. The key provision adds this specific prohibition to Arizona's professional conduct rules, requiring providers to offer care without discrimination related to vaccination. If enacted, this would prevent healthcare access denials tied to whether a patient is vaccinated or not.
HB 2563 repeals two Arizona statutes (9-500.38 and 11-269.16) and modifies Section 44-1648 to clarify that while the state preempts statewide registration of scrap metal dealers, local governments (cities, towns, counties) may still enforce business licensing systems that include background checks or fingerprinting for owners. The bill ensures scrap metal dealers with valid licenses issued before September 13, 2013, remain compliant without needing to reapply, unless an event triggers a required amendment under local rules. It directly affects scrap metal dealers operating in Arizona by standardizing licensing requirements between state and local authorities. The bill focuses on regulatory clarity rather than creating new policy, maintaining existing license validity while allowing local background checks.
SB 1222 prohibits using public funds to extend Phoenix's light rail service to a specific area bounded by 17th Avenue (east), Adams and Van Buren Streets (north), 18th Avenue (west), and Jefferson and Jackson Streets (south). It also bans such extensions within 50 linear yards of this defined zone. The bill directly affects the Phoenix light rail system and any public entity seeking to fund new service in these areas. This policy change restricts where public transportation dollars can be allocated for light rail expansion.
HB 2524 repeals Arizona Revised Statutes Section 13-3605, which previously regulated advertising related to abortion services and conception. This procedural bill removes a specific advertising rule governing how abortion-related information could be promoted. It does not create new requirements but eliminates an existing statutory provision. The bill is currently in early legislative stages (House first and second readings as of January 20-21, 2026).
HB 2748 amends Arizona's oil and gas statutes to establish specific fees and confidentiality rules. It requires oil and gas operators to pay a $25 fee per well for drilling permits (Section 27-513, 27-659) and a $50 fee for requesting hearings (Section 27-517). The bill also allows operators to request extended confidentiality for well records in unproven areas - initially for one year, with potential two-year extensions - provided they prove disclosure would harm their competitive position (Section 27-522). All collected fees are deposited into the state general fund, with no changes to existing record-access requirements for water resources officials.
HB 2878 clarifies definitions related to Arizona driver licenses and personal information in state law. It defines key terms like "consular identification card" (a foreign-issued ID meeting specific standards), "highly restricted personal information" (including social security numbers, medical details, and consular card numbers), and "opt in" (explicit consent for releasing personal data). The bill primarily affects the Arizona Department of Transportation, which uses these definitions to manage driver records and personal information handling. It does not change license eligibility rules but provides clearer terminology for existing processes, ensuring consistent application of privacy and data-sharing procedures.
HB 2528 establishes new rights for Arizonans seeking fertility care, including the right to access treatments like IVF without unreasonable restrictions, continue ongoing treatments, and control their embryos, eggs, or sperm. It also affirms health care providers' rights to perform fertility treatments and insurers' rights to cover them. The law requires health authorities to create rules supporting these rights within one year. This bill directly affects individuals pursuing fertility care, clinics offering such services, and health insurance companies.
HB 2845 appropriates $750,000 from Arizona's state general fund for fiscal year 2026-2027 to develop infrastructure and facilities at Del Rio Springs as a state park. The bill specifically exempts this funding from standard appropriation lapsing rules under Arizona law. This allocation directly supports the creation of Del Rio Springs as a new state park, focusing on site development and necessary public amenities. The bill does not establish new policy but provides targeted funding for park infrastructure.
