The proposed bill seeks to amend current statutes related to the Maricopa County Stadium District by introducing new provisions for the distribution and use of transaction privilege tax (TPT) and income tax revenues. Specifically, it mandates that the Arizona Department of Revenue (ADOR) account for income tax revenues from professional baseball franchises and their employees, with 82% of these revenues transmitted to the District Fund until 2056. The bill also establishes that TPT revenues from specific business activities at Chase Field must be directed to the District Fund, while imposing penalties on the Arizona Diamondbacks for leaving the facility prematurely. Additionally, it repeals existing distribution requirements for TPT and income tax diversions after 2056 and restricts the use of these funds solely for capital repairs and improvements to Chase Field.

Furthermore, 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, including the Phoenix Mayor and the Arizona Diamondbacks. It introduces specific reporting requirements, caps the total amount of TPT and income tax diversions at $500 million, and requires a two-thirds majority vote for certain expenditures. The bill also clarifies definitions related to infrastructure and outlines the appointment process for board members, while prohibiting the board from acquiring real property through eminent domain. Overall, the bill aims to enhance financial management and accountability for the maintenance and improvement of Chase Field, ensuring that public funds are used effectively.
