HB2206 is a bill that aims to amend the Arizona Revised Statutes by adding section 18-105, which relates to software licensure. The bill seeks to prevent contracts for software application licensure from restricting an Arizona public agency's choice of hardware on which to run the software. Specifically, it prohibits such contracts from limiting the agency's ability to install or run the licensed software on any hardware the agency chooses, and from requiring the software to run on hardware dedicated solely to the agency.

The bill also defines "public agency" for the purposes of this section to include the state of Arizona, the Arizona Board of Regents, cities, charter cities, counties, districts, public authorities, or other political subdivisions of the state. However, it explicitly excludes political subdivisions that operate federal reclamation projects from the definition of a public agency.
