This bill proposes to amend section 41-1519 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, specifically updating the timeline for the certification of computer data centers by the Arizona Commerce Authority. Under current law, the authority must review applications within sixty days and either issue a certification or provide reasons for denial. If the authority fails to act within this timeframe, the application is automatically approved, and certification must be issued within fourteen days. The bill changes the deadline for submitting new applications for certification from December 31, 2033, to December 31, 2026.

Additionally, the bill includes a provision that stipulates its effectiveness is contingent upon an affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the members of each house of the legislature, and it will take effect immediately upon the governor's signature or, if vetoed, upon a subsequent affirmative vote of three-fourths of the members of each house.
