The proposed bill, if enacted, would amend current statutes related to the assessment of fees for the Arizona Department of Revenue's Integrated Tax System Modernization Project. Specifically, it would update the language in section 42-5041 to include the Maricopa County one-half cent transportation excise tax in the fee assessment and clarify that the fees assessed to counties, cities, towns, councils of governments, and regional transportation authorities must not exceed $6,558,800 for fiscal year 2025-2026. The bill also specifies that the assessment of fees will be based on the population from the most recent census and outlines the distribution of fees among various entities.

Additionally, the bill would establish limits on the transfers of certain tax revenues for the same fiscal year, including a cap of $795,300 for education transaction privilege tax revenues and $177,200 for marijuana excise tax revenues. It would also make technical and conforming changes to ensure consistency within the statutes. Overall, the bill aims to provide a structured approach to fee assessments and revenue transfers while ensuring compliance with legislative intent for the fiscal years specified.
