The proposed bill amends Arizona Revised Statutes to establish that both municipalities and counties cannot levy or impose an increase in assessments, taxes, or fees without a two-thirds vote from their respective governing bodies. This requirement applies to the common council of a municipality and the board of supervisors of a county, ensuring that any increase in these financial obligations is subject to significant consensus.

Additionally, the bill emphasizes that the regulation of increases in assessments, taxes, and fees is a matter of statewide concern, meaning that municipalities and counties cannot impose further regulations on their ability to increase these financial obligations beyond the two-thirds vote requirement. This change aims to standardize the process for increasing local government assessments, taxes, and fees across the state.
