Budget & Taxes

HB 2773 prohibits Arizona state agencies, political subdivisions (like counties or cities), and their employees from using state funds or resources to support the International Criminal Court (ICC) in enforcing arrests, rulings, or policies within Arizona. Specifically, it bans using state money for any activity aiding the ICC's enforcement efforts, except when required by a court order. The bill directly affects state government operations by restricting how public funds can be allocated. If passed, it would prevent Arizona entities from contributing to ICC enforcement actions within the state.

Arizona House Memorial 2004 (HM 2004) is a non-binding resolution urging Congress to cease all U.S. funding to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and withdraw from the organization. It directly addresses the U.S. Congress and President, requesting they stop the approximately $150 billion annual contribution to the IMF. The resolution cites concerns about IMF waste, lack of accountability, and alleged support for "corrupt countries" like Pakistan - specifically referencing a $1 billion IMF loan to Pakistan amid security incidents involving India. As a symbolic memorial, it does not create legal obligations but formally requests a policy shift in U.S. international financial engagement.
