Dear Reader:
The 2021 Legislative Summary, commonly referred to as the Spiel, was prepared by the
Senate Research Staff under the direction of Karen Fann, Arizona Senate President.
The Senate Research Staff is a nonpartisan staff that has provided professional analysis
services to the Arizona State Senate for over 45 years. The staff consists of full-time legislative
committee research analysts, support staff and session-only interns from the state's universities.
The Spiel presents an overview of all legislation approved by the Legislature during the
Fifty-fifth Legislature, First Regular Session (2021), as well as the Fifty-fifth Legislature, First
Special Session (2021). Additional bill information can be obtained from the Arizona
Legislature's website: www.azleg.gov.
To prepare this document, the Senate Research Staff relies on many individuals whose
assistance is integral to the process and is deeply appreciated. On behalf of the Senate Research
Staff, I sincerely thank everyone who participated in producing this year's Spiel.

Beginning October 1, 2021, allows a bar or liquor store to sell mixed cocktails for off-
premises consumption (to-go mixed cocktails) and directs bar and liquor store licensees to make
an additional to-go mixed cocktails privilege available for a restaurant licensee to lease through
the Department of Liquor Licenses and Control (DLLC) in renewable, one-year terms through
December 31, 2025. Beginning January 1, 2026, a restaurant may apply for a to-go mixed cocktails
permit from DLLC. Allows a bar, beer and wine bar or liquor store licensee to lease the license's
associated off-sale privileges to a restaurant liquor licensee within the same county according to
outlined requirements for renewable, one-year terms. An off-sale privileges lessor may not use the
associated leased privileges during a lease term.
A to-go mixed cocktail must be prepared by the licensee on the premises and sold in a
container with a maximum capacity of 32 ounces and a tamper-proof seal. To-go mixed cocktails
sold by a restaurant licensee must be accompanied by food sales. The off-sale use of a restaurant
with a to-go mixed cocktails lease or off-sale privileges lease is limited to 30 percent of the on-
premises liquor sales.
Prescribes requirements for DLLC administration of to-go mixed cocktails leases and
permits, off-sale privileges leases and associated fees. For off-sale privileges leases, DLLC may
establish separate amounts for urban and rural counties and the lessor and lessee may agree to a
lease amount different than the DLLC-established amount. Outlines authorized methods for the

considering: 1) nonconviction information; 2) a conviction that is sealed, dismissed, expunged or
pardoned; 3) a nonviolent misdemeanor; or 4) a juvenile adjudication. Certain agencies and
authorizations may consider nonconviction information, a sealed, dismissed, expunged or
pardoned conviction or a nonviolent misdemeanor.
Narrows the criteria for an agency to determine that the state has an interest that is superior
to a person's right to a license by requiring that the offense, except offenses involving moral
turpitude, directly relate to the occupation and specifying circumstances the agency must consider.
An agency must rescind a determination before issuing a license if the person is convicted of any
additional disqualifying offenses rather than only certain disqualifying offenses. Modifies

LEGISLATION VETOED
sex education instruction; parental rights (S.B. 1456) – VETOED
Prohibits school districts and charter schools from providing sex education instruction,
including AIDS and HIV instruction, to students before grade 5. Before a school provides
instruction on sex education, sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression, a public
educational institution must obtain written parental consent and notify parents of their right to
review instructional materials and activities. A student without consent may not receive AIDS and
HIV instruction and is automatically excused from participation. For courses outside of formal sex
education, a school district governing board (governing board) or charter school governing body
(governing body) must develop parental notification procedures and provide parents the
opportunity to opt their children in to any instruction, learning materials or presentations related
to sexuality, gender identity or gender expression. A school district or charter school is not required
to provide sex education instruction and any sex education instruction that occurs after school
hours must comply with parental notification and permission requirements.
A school district or charter school may adopt an existing sex education course of study or
a charter school may develop its own sex education course of study that meets outlined criteria.
Prior to approving any sex education course of study, a governing board or governing body must
make any proposed course of study available for public comment at least 60 days prior to approval
and conduct at least two public hearings during the 60-day review period. The approved sex
education curricula must be made available online or in-person for the parent's review and parents
must be notified of the location at least two weeks before instruction is offered. A school with
existing sex education instruction must review their course of study and comply with the new
requirements by December 15, 2021.

credit for reinsurance (S.B. 1044) – Chapter 357
S.B. 1044 is a National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) Model Act and
an NAIC accreditation requirement.
Requires credit to be allowed when reinsurance is ceded to an assuming insurer who meets
outlined conditions, including being licensed in a reciprocal jurisdiction and providing assurance
and documentation to the Department of Insurance and Financial Institutions (DIFI). The outlined
conditions do not: 1) limit or alter the capacity of parties to a reinsurance agreement to agree on
security requirements or other terms, except as expressly prohibited; 2) authorize an assuming
insurer to withdraw or reduce the security provided under an agreement; or 3) limit or alter parties'
capacity to renegotiate the agreement. An assuming insurer may only take credit for reinsurance
agreements entered into, amended or renewed on or after September 29, 2021, and with respect to
losses incurred and reserves reported after the insurer becomes eligible. If subject to a legal process
of rehabilitation, liquidation or conservation, a ceding insurer may seek an order requiring the
assuming insurer to post security for all outstanding ceded liabilities. The Director of DIFI
(Director) may suspend a reinsurer's certification indefinitely in certain circumstances.
Requires the Director to publish and maintain a list of: 1) reciprocal jurisdictions that may
include jurisdictions from the NAIC list of reciprocal jurisdictions; and 2) assuming insurers that
have satisfied prescribed conditions. Allows the Director to adopt rules to regulate reinsurance
63
arrangements for specified life and health insurance policies and to carry out the NAIC Model Act.

Beginning July 1, 2022, requires the Public Safety Personnel Retirement System Board of
Trustees (PSPRS Board) to establish, design and administer a group health benefits plan for retired

plan) participant may opt in within 90 days after July 1, 2022, and a participant hired after July 1,
2022, may opt in within 90 days after employment by electing to pay the required costs of the
group health benefits plan through payroll deduction. A participant who fails to make the election
within the 90-day period is excluded from receiving any group health benefits plan benefits during
retirement and may not have another election to participate if reemployed in a qualifying position.
Employee and employer contributions must be deposited in a separate account solely to
pay for group health benefits and the PSPRS Board must manage the account in an actuarily sound
manner. Each employer must transfer employer and participant contributions to the PSPRS Board
within 10 working days after each payroll date and contributions made after the deadline must
include a prescribed employer-paid penalty. Delinquent contribution payments and interest
charges may be recovered by a court action against an employer or may be deducted from state
monies payable to an employer. The PSPRS Board may adopt additional provisions necessary to
fulfill legislative intent relating to account administration.

predeceases a DROP participant who dies before designating a new beneficiary, the order of
priority for replacing the beneficiary is: 1) the surviving spouse; 2) the DROP participant's
children; and 3) the DROP participant's estate.
Allows a member or the member's surviving spouse beneficiary who is entitled to receive
an eligible rollover distribution to elect to directly roll over all or part of the eligible rollover
64
distribution to an eligible retirement plan. On the death of a member, the member's nonspouse

the member's required beginning date and has not commenced receiving retirement benefits, ASRS

and determine the benefit as a straight annuity. The member's estate is entitled to the deceased
member's benefit payments.

redeemed the property within six months after the end of the delinquency.
class 2 property; guest ranches (H.B. 2376) – Chapter 185
Classifies, as class 2 property, real property and improvements to property and the personal

years. The owner must notify the county assessor of a change in use and the county assessor must
add a penalty as prescribed to the property tax due if the owner violates the deed restriction.
PSPRS; CORP; local boards; consolidation (H.B. 2381/S.B. 1214) – Chapter 34
Beginning January 1, 2022, requires the Public Safety Personnel Retirement System Board
of Trustees (PSPRS Board), rather than a PSPRS or Corrections Officer Retirement Plan (CORP)
local board, to determine retirement benefits and decide questions of eligibility for service credits
and retirement benefits. Each employer that receives a completed retirement application must
submit the application to the PSPRS Board within 10 days. The PSPRS Board must resolve any
discrepancies found in the application before the start date of the retirement benefits.
Requires a PSPRS or CORP local board to administer disability and in-the-line-of-duty
death benefits and issue opinions on questions of whether benefits are consistent with and
allowable under PSPRS. A local board secretary must submit an application for disability benefits
or in-the-line-of duty death benefits to the PSPRS Administrator within 10 days after receiving the
application. After a local board makes a determination or an application is deemed granted, the
PSPRS Administrator must review the findings and may require additional records or a rehearing.
The decision of a local board is subject to judicial review if the PSPRS Board disagrees with the
local board's decision after a required rehearing.
Allows a PSPRS or CORP local board to enter into an intergovernmental agreement with
other local boards to consolidate the boards for the respective employers. A consolidated local

board procedure issued by the PSPRS Board into local board rules. Prescribes training and
reporting requirements for local board members, staff and legal counsel. A local board's
independent legal counsel may not be employed by or contracted with the employer, any employee
organizations or a PSPRS or CORP member. Outlines procedures for a local board's
noncompliance with statute or rules and allows the PSPRS Board to act on behalf of a local board
that fails to take adequate corrective action until the matter is resolved. Allows the PSPRS Board
to require, rather than seek, a review or rehearing of actions or omissions of a local board.
75
Requires a local board and an employer who participates in PSPRS, CORP or the Elected

31, 2030, for eligibility for the Credit for Renewable Energy Investment and Production for Self-
Consumption by International Operations Centers (IOCs). Outlines investment and application

energy facility to a utility qualifies as self-consumption if the utility provides power to the owner's
or operator's IOC in Arizona.
Arizona Department of Revenue (ADOR) – Allows the Director of ADOR to obtain a
criminal records check for an applicant, employee or contractor who may receive or access federal

contract may exclude. A service company may continue to use a service contract approved before
September 29, 2021, until the service company submits a new service contract form for approval.
telehealth; health care providers; requirements (H.B. 2454) – Chapter 320 E
An emergency measure effective May 5, 2021, that outlines telehealth procedures and
requirements.
Telehealth Delivery of Health Care – Allows a health care provider to conduct a physical
or mental health status examination through telehealth and obtain informed consent for the use of
telehealth by electronic means. A health care provider must make a good faith effort to determine:
1) whether a health care service should be provided through telehealth; and 2) the communication
medium. Telehealth services are subject to Arizona's scope of practice laws and guidelines adopted
by the Telehealth Advisory Committee on Telehealth Best Practices (Advisory Committee).
Telehealth is the interactive use of audio, video or other electronic media for the practice of health
care, assessment, diagnosis, consultation or treatment and the transfer of medical data. An audio-only
telephone encounter is telehealth if an audio-visual encounter is not reasonably available.
Prohibits a health care provider regulatory board or agency from enforcing a statute, rule
or policy requiring an authorized health care provider to provide an in-person examination before
issuing a prescription. Schedule II drugs may be prescribed only after an in-person or audio-visual
examination. Health care provider regulatory boards and agencies are exempt from rulemaking
requirements until May 5, 2022, to implement telehealth requirements. The Department of
Insurance and Financial Institutions must report the number of telehealth encounters in the
preceding year based on claims data by March 31, 2023.
Coverage of Telehealth Services and Network Adequacy – Includes the following in the
definition of telehealth for the purposes of health care services coverage if an audio-visual
77
encounter is not reasonably available and the subscriber requests or authorizes the encounter:
1) an audio-only telephone encounter between a subscriber and a health care provider or provider
group with an existing relationship; and 2) an audio-only encounter for a behavioral health or
substance use disorder service, regardless of whether there is an existing relationship.
Requires a corporation, health care services organization, disability insurer and group or
blanket disability insurer (health insurer) to cover services provided through an audio-only
encounter if: 1) before January 1, 2022, Medicare or the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment
System covers the services when provided through an audio-only encounter; and 2) beginning
January 1, 2022, the Advisory Committee recommends that the services may be appropriately
provided through an audio-only encounter. Prescribes telehealth claim and billing procedures. A
health insurer may not limit or deny the coverage of telehealth services and must reimburse
providers for services provided through an audio-visual or, for behavioral and substance use
disorder services, audio-only encounter at the same level as for equivalent in-person services.
Equitable reimbursement requirements do not apply to a telehealth encounter provided through a
platform the insurer sponsors or provides and a health insurer may not condition network
participation on use of an insurer platform.
Telehealth coverage requirements do not relieve a health insurer from an obligation to
provide adequate access to in-person health care services. A health insurer may not meet network
adequacy standards through the use of contracted providers who provide only telehealth services
and do not provide in-person services in Arizona or within 50 miles of the Arizona border.
Interstate Telehealth Services – Authorizes a health care provider who is licensed in
another state (interstate provider) to provide telehealth services to a person in Arizona if the
provider registers with the applicable health care provider regulatory board or agency and complies
with outlined requirements. An interstate provider with an active license in another jurisdiction is
exempt from the interstate registration requirements in certain circumstances. An interstate
provider who fails to comply with applicable Arizona laws is subject to investigation and both
nondisciplinary and disciplinary action by the applicable health care provider regulatory board or
agency. The board or agency may: 1) revoke or prohibit the interstate provider's privileges in
Arizona; 2) report the action to the National Practitioner Database; and 3) refer the matter to the
licensing authority in the state where the interstate provider is licensed.
Advisory Committee – Establishes the 27-member Advisory Committee and outlines
membership and duties. The Advisory Committee must submit a report with recommendations on
the specific services that are appropriate to provide through an audio-only telehealth format by
December 1, 2021, and a report on telehealth best practice guidelines by July 1, 2022. Beginning
October 1, 2021, through December 31, 2025, each health care provider regulatory board or agency
must submit monthly reports to the Advisory Committee on interstate provider applicants and
registrants. Terminates the Advisory Committee on July 1, 2029.
Acute Care Services Pilot Program (Pilot Program) – Requires the Department of Health
Services (DHS) to develop a three-year Pilot Program by June 4, 2021, that allows licensed
hospitals in Arizona to deliver acute care services in a patient's home. DHS must determine
hospital eligibility criteria, protocols for determining patient eligibility and protocols for providing
health care services. Prescribes reporting requirements for the Pilot Program.
78
money transmitters; exemptions; authorized delegates (H.B. 2508) – Chapter 263
Exempts, from money transmitter licensure and regulation, a person who provides money
transmitter services for a bank, financial institution holding company, credit union, savings and
loan association or savings bank (entity), if: 1) the agency relationship is established by written
agreement; and 2) the entity remains responsible for providing money transmitter services to its
customers. Removes the requirement that a contract between a licensed money transmitter and the
licensee's authorized delegate contain a current copy of money transmitter statutes. Removes
licensure display requirements for a money transmitter and an authorized delegate.
blockchain and cryptocurrency study committee (H.B. 2544) – Chapter 339
Establishes the 19-member Blockchain and Cryptocurrency Study Committee (Study
Committee) and outlines membership requirements. The Study Committee must submit a report
of findings and recommendations on legislative priorities to foster a positive blockchain and
cryptocurrency economic environment by December 31, 2022. Repeals the Study Committee on
October 1, 2023.
judgments; liens; homestead (H.B. 2617) – Chapter 368
Beginning January 1, 2022, applies the statutory 10-year judgment renewal exemption to
civil judgments obtained by the state that are entered into before September 13, 2013, and were
current and collectable under laws applicable on September 13, 2013, or entered into on or after
September 13, 2013. A judgment lien does not attach to homestead property for any sale, transfer
or refinance completed before January 1, 2022. A sale, transfer or refinance completed beginning
January 1, 2022, and valid judgments recorded before January 1, 2022, attach to the homestead
property, are enforceable and create a judgment lien. The homestead exemption does not attach to
a person's interest in identifiable cash proceeds from refinancing a homestead property.
Increases the homestead exemption to $250,000, and requires a judgment creditor, on the
sale of homestead property that is subject to a judgment lien, to be paid from the proceeds after
the homestead exemption amount is paid to the debtor and after payment of priority liens.
Homestead property is exempt from involuntary sale under a judgment or lien, except a recorded
civil judgment or other nonconsensual lien if the debtor's equity exceeds the homestead exemption.
Prescribes procedures for a title insurer to extinguish a judgment creditor's lien on homestead
property if the anticipated payment to the judgment debtor is 80 percent of the amount of the
homestead exemption. A title insurer that prepares or records a notice of partial release is liable
for damages caused by wrongfully recording the notice.
prior authorization; uniform request forms (H.B. 2621) – Chapter 115
Requires the Department of Insurance and Financial Institutions (DIFI), by January 1,
2022, to approve separate uniform prior authorization request forms that meet prescribed criteria
for: 1) prescription drugs, devices or durable medical equipment; and 2) all other health care
procedures, treatments and services. DIFI must seek input from stakeholders and consider existing
79
request forms and national standards for electronic prior authorization. By January 1, 2023, all
providers must use the DIFI-approved forms and all health care service plans and utilization review
agents must process prior authorization requests submitted using the forms. Prior authorization
requests not submitted on the DIFI-approved forms beginning January 1, 2023, are invalid.
computer data centers; tax incentives (H.B. 2649) – Chapter 266
Retroactive to September 13, 2013, redefines tax relief for the purposes of a computer data
center as the transaction privilege tax (TPT), use tax, prime contracting tax and municipal tax
deductions on the sale, use, installation, assembly, repair or maintenance of computer data center
(CDC) equipment for use at a CDC. Replaces the CDC equipment TPT and use tax exemptions
with a deduction from the TPT or use tax tax base of the gross proceeds of sales or gross income
derived from sales of CDC equipment to a certified CDC for use in the CDC. Extends Arizona
Commerce Authority certification of new CDCs until December 31, 2033, and allows the effective
date of a CDC certification to be a prospective date within five years after application submittal.
A CDC may file a refund claim based on the new definition of tax relief until December 31, 2021,
as outlined.
Retroactive to August 24, 2020, allows a third-party entity to invest in new renewable
energy facilities on behalf of a taxpayer who is eligible for the Credit for Renewable Energy
Investment and Production for Self-Consumption by International Operations Centers (IOCs). For
taxpayers using investments made by third-party entities, the minimum investment threshold is
$1.5 billion in new capital assets by the 10th anniversary of certification.
To become eligible for the Credit for Renewable Energy Investment and Production for
Self-Consumption by IOCs, the minimum investment of $100 million must be completed within a
three-year period beginning on the date the initial application is received or by December 31, 2018,
rather than December 31, 2030. Outlines investment and application requirements for the owner
or operator of an IOC to qualify for utility relief.

coverage. A disability insurer or service corporation may either: 1) include implementation credits
in a charged premium and then reimburse the policyholder; or 2) pay for the implementation credits
and provide appropriate disclosure in the group policy.
bonds; change of purpose; election (H.B. 2821) – Chapter 328

authorized at a prior election may be spent, if the bonds have not been issued. Prescribes election
procedures and outlines information to be included in the bond election informational pamphlet.
theme park districts; extension (H.B. 2835) – Chapter 298
Expands the definition of theme park for the purposes of forming a theme park district
(district) to include sports venues and overnight lodging or accommodation for theme park patrons
and guests. A district may only be formed by a city with a population of more than 1,000,000
persons, and the county in which the city is entirely located and the district must consist of
contiguous property. Retroactive to January 1, 2021, if the district board fails to issue bonds, the
enabling statutes for district formation are repealed on January 1, 2032.
Increases the maximum aggregate bond principal amount for all established districts from
$1 billion to $2 billion. Until a district's bonds are fully repaid: 1) the district must provide in a
lease or use agreement that the lessee or user may not relocate, significantly reduce its operation
or terminate its agreement with the district; and 2) the lessee or user may not participate in a
different district or in an agreement to use or construct a professional sports stadium or field outside
the district. Caps, rather than sets, the tax rate levied by the district on business activity at nine
percent and allows the district board to approve different rates by revenue source or type of
property sold.
Exempts a property leased by a district from state and local income and property taxation,
except for a hotel building in a district that meets certain requirements. At the conclusion of the
lease, the hotel building must be returned to the lessee and is then subject to state and local property
taxation as outlined. Modifies a district board's administrative responsibilities and requirements
for constructing and maintaining a theme park. A district board must report on any aspect of district
operation at the request of the Chairperson of the Joint Legislative Budget Committee.
81
income tax; partnerships; S corporations (H.B. 2838) – Chapter 425
Beginning January 1, 2022, establishes an entity-level tax for a business that is treated as a

income tax return. A partnership or S corp must notify all partners or shareholders who are
individuals, estates or trusts of an intent to make the election and that each recipient has the right
to opt out of the election within 60 days. The entity-level election does not apply to partners or
shareholders that are not individuals, estates or trusts. A partnership or S corp that elects to pay
the entity-level tax and whose taxable income is $150,000 or more must make estimated tax
payments in the same manner as an individual taxpayer.
Establishes the Credit for Entity-Level Income Tax and sets the amount of the Credit as
the partner's or shareholder's pro rata share of the entity-level tax paid by the partnership or S corp.
A taxpayer may claim a credit for any substantially similar tax levied and paid in another state.
The Arizona Department of Revenue must adopt rules to administer the entity-level tax election.
conformity; internal revenue code; exception (NOW: DOR; procedures; administrative rulings)
(H.B. 2879) – Chapter 342
Allows the Arizona Department of Revenue (ADOR) to issue draft rulings, procedures,

pursuant to statutory requirements, to declare the district consolidated by resolution. If a fire
district consolidation is approved by a majority vote of a district that meets certain requirements,
the fire district must receive written consent to the consolidation from any taxpayer within the
district that owns 30 percent or more of the net-assessed value of the district. Removes the
requirement that all public records of a county island district be maintained in an electronic media
or digital imaging format approved by the Director of the Arizona State Library, Archives and
Public Records. Removes the requirement that a copy of permanent public records of a county
island district be maintained by the county in which the district resides. Requires a county island
