The bill HB2910 proposes to amend the funding structure for various self-supporting regulatory agencies in Arizona by increasing the percentage of licensing fee revenues that must be deposited into the state General Fund from 10% to 15%. This change is temporary, with the percentage set to revert back to 10% on July 1, 2028. Additionally, the bill prohibits these boards from raising licensing fees during fiscal years 2025 and 2026, although it allows for emergency fee increases under specific conditions if a board can demonstrate financial necessity.

Key differences from current law include the temporary increase in the General Fund allocation, the prohibition on fee increases for two fiscal years, and the allowance for emergency fee increases. The bill aims to ensure that regulatory boards remain operational without immediate fee hikes while shifting more financial resources to the state General Fund, impacting multiple boards such as the Arizona Medical Board and the Board of Accountancy.
