LEGISLATION ISSUESWed, Aug 26The Arizona Senate and House of Representatives moved to sine die the 49th Legislature- 3rd Special Session on Tuesday at approximately 1:45pm. This gives Governor Jan Brewer an additional ten days to act on the budget bills sent to her last Thursday. She is to resume talks with Democrats at 3:30pm this afternoon. They are asking for changes in education, DES, DHS and AHCCCS in exchange for their support of the three-year 1-cent sales tax referral. Majority Leadership has said that the Democrat's price tag is just too high and will not receive bipartisan support at this time. HB 2008, which includes the repeal of SB 1271, is among the budget bills that are still awaiting the governor's action. It is believed that she will take the full 10 days before acting on any measure, in order to continue to work towards the sales tax referral. We continue to encourage her signature on HB 2008. |
