This bill proposes to repeal section 41-194.01 of the Arizona Revised Statutes and amend sections 42-5029 and 43-206. The repeal of section 41-194.01 removes provisions related to the withholding of state shared revenues from counties, cities, or towns that violate state law or the Arizona Constitution, as well as the process for redistributing those withheld funds. Additionally, the bill modifies the language in sections 42-5029 and 43-206 to clarify the basis for apportioning urban revenue sharing funds based on population, specifically referencing the most recent United States decennial census and any certified revisions.

The amendments also include the removal of outdated legal language regarding the distribution of funds to the Department of Revenue, the Department of Economic Security, and the firearms safety and ranges fund. The bill updates the terminology by replacing "the census" with "census" and eliminates redundant phrases, streamlining the language for clarity. Overall, the bill aims to simplify the statutes governing state shared revenues and remove provisions that may no longer be necessary.
