The bill proposes an amendment to section 5-605 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, which pertains to tribal gaming. The amendment involves changes to the language regarding the 2021 compact trust fund, which is designated for mitigating impacts on Indian tribes from gaming authorized by the 2021 gaming compact amendment and for providing economic benefits to beneficiary tribes.

The key change in the bill is the replacement of the word "with" with "that have" in reference to tribes that have an effective gaming compact that includes the 2021 amendments and that do not engage in gaming. Additionally, the bill clarifies that the trust fund consists of contributions from Indian tribes as designated in the 2021 gaming compact amendments and explicitly states that the trust fund shall not include tribal contributions made pursuant to section 5-601.02, subsection H.
