The proposed bill would update current statutes governing the Maricopa County Stadium District by redirecting 82 percent of state income tax revenues from the Arizona Diamondbacks and other professional baseball franchises to the Maricopa County Stadium District Fund until December 31, 2056. It mandates the State Treasurer to transmit transaction privilege tax (TPT) revenues from specific business activities at Chase Field to the District Fund, while establishing a cap on total TPT and income tax diversions at $500 million, with annual increases of 3 percent until 2055. The bill also repeals existing distribution and accounting requirements for the Maricopa County one-half cent transportation tax effective January 1, 2056.

Additionally, the bill modifies the governance structure of the Maricopa County Stadium District Board, replacing the current Board of Supervisors with appointed members from various stakeholders and establishing specific appointment timelines and term lengths. It prohibits the acquisition of real property by eminent domain and requires a two-thirds majority vote for expenditures related to MLB infrastructure. The bill also clarifies the allowable uses of funds, emphasizing that they must be allocated for capital repairs and improvements to Chase Field and its infrastructure, while introducing penalties for the Arizona Diamondbacks if they leave Chase Field before specified dates.
