| Summary: | The 2024 general election ballot is to carry the question of whether to amend the Arizona Constitution to constitutionally continue the Permanent State School Fund (Fund) annual distribution rate of 6.9% through FY2035 and revert all other permanent fund annual distribution rates to 2.5% beginning in FY2026, effective only if voters approve the statutory measure that establishes a statewide program to increase the base salary of all eligible teachers above the FY2025 base salary. Increases, for FY2026-35, the Fund's annual distribution rate to 6.9% (from 2.5%) of the average monthly market valuation of the Fund for the previous five calendar years. Requires, for FY2026-35, any increase in expendable earnings that would otherwise go to the Classroom Site Fund that results from a distribution of more than 2.5% of the average monthly market valuation of the Fund for the immediately preceding five calendar years to be appropriated for the statewide program to increase the base salary of all eligible teachers. Reverts, beginning in FY 2036, the Fund's annual distribution to 2.5% of the average monthly market valuation of the Fund for the previous five calendar years. Applies the requirement for the Office of Strategic Planning and Budgeting (OSPB) and the Joint Legislative Budget Committee (JLBC) to jointly notify outlined individuals that a reduction to the distribution is necessary to preserve the safety of the capital in a permanent fund if the value of the permanent fund for the immediately preceding five calendar years has decreased compared to the value of a permanent fund for the five-calendar-year period immediately preceding those five years; and the authorization for the Legislature, with approval of the Governor, to enact legislation that reduces the distribution for the next fiscal year to between 2.5% and 6.9% of the value of the Fund upon receipt of OSPB’s and JLBC’s notification, to the Fund's annual distributions in FY2026-35. Specifies that, beginning in FY 2026, the annual distribution of each permanent fund other than the Fund reverts to 2.5% of the average monthly market valuation of the permanent fund. Becomes effective if approved by the voters and on proclamation of the Governor. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| HCR2048 - Schools; teacher salary increases; reporting. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Sponsor: | Rep. Austin Smith (R) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Summary: | The 2024 general election ballot is to carry the question of whether to amend the Arizona Constitution to approve an increased distribution rate from the state land trust permanent funds. Requires, if the amendment is approved, revised salary schedules to increase the base salary of all eligible teachers that is the amount estimated by the Arizona State Treasurer that will be deposited in the Teacher Pay Fund (Teacher Fund) for the budget year, and the same amount for each “eligible teacher” (defined) without regard to experience levels. Prohibits a school from reducing the base salaries of an eligible teacher below the salary reported by the Arizona Department of Education (ADOE) FY2024-25 with certain exceptions. Establishes the Teacher Fund consisting of legislative appropriations and distributions from the permanent State School Fund. Provides that monies in the Teacher Fund are continuously appropriated and are exempt from lapsing. Requires ADOE to administer the fund and establish procedures. Establishes guidelines for allocation of monies. Prohibits Teacher Fund monies from causing any reduction in other funding sources for the school. Exempts Teacher Fund monies from revenue control limits. Requires ADOE to allocate monies appropriated by the legislature to the Teacher Fund according to the terms of the appropriation for salary increases not required by this statute. Requires the Arizona State Treasurer, by March 30 of each year, to provide the Joint Legislative Budget Committee with an estimate of the amount that will be deposited in the Teacher Fund for the budget year. Requires the Joint Legislative Budget Committee, by March 30 of each year, to determine a per teacher amount from the Teacher Fund for the budget year based on listed considerations. Requires each school that receives monies to submit a yearly report by November 15 to the Superintendent of Public Instruction. Requires ADOE in conjunction with the Arizona Auditor General (AAG) to prescribe the format of the report. Requires ADOE, on report from AAG, to determine whether schools are in compliance. If ADOE determines that a school is not in compliance or has not corrected a deficiency within 90 days, the school is ineligible to receive monies from the Teacher Fund until the AAG reports that the school is in compliance. Requires a charter school budget to include the number of eligible teachers employed by the school for the current year and their salary schedule. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Summary: | The 2024 general election ballot is to carry the question to amend Title 42, Chapter 17 by adding Article 9, to allow a property owner to apply for a property tax refund for taxes paid to a city, town or county if the receiving entity adopts a pattern or policies declining to enforce existing laws, ordinances or other legislation prohibiting illegal camping, obstructing public thoroughfares, loitering, panhandling, public urination or defecation, public consumption of alcoholic beverages or possession of illegal substances, or maintains a public nuisance, and the property in question is reduced in fair market value because of those actions, or the property owner incurs expenses because of said actions. Further, this ballot is to carry the question of whether the State Treasurer shall withhold payments to the city, town or county in question the amount of refunds claimed under this section until the entire amount of the refund is collected and if the city, town or county elect to challenge the refund allowed under this section, each shall bear the burden of proof to demonstrate its actions are lawful or that the refund amount is unreasonable.

| Sponsor: | Sen. J.D. Mesnard (R) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Summary: | The 2024 general election ballot is to carry the question of whether to amend the state Constitution to require that if a new fiscal year has begun and no general appropriation bill has been signed into law for that year, the general appropriation bill in effect for the immediately preceding year continues as if enacted into law for the new fiscal year. Requires that the current appropriations level remain in place until a new general appropriations bill is adopted. Requires the Joint Legislative Budget Committee or its successor agency, by a majority vote of all appointed members, to adjust, for inflation and enrollment growth in the new fiscal year or to remove onetime transfers and expenditures and make required debt service adjustments, the continued general appropriation amounts for programs administered by the Arizona Department of Education, Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System and the Department of Economic Security. Specifies that the previous general appropriation bill does not continue in effect for the new fiscal year if, after being adjusted, the previous general appropriation bill, together with any other appropriations required by law in the new fiscal year, would appropriate an amount that exceeds the projected General Fund revenues for the new fiscal year. Enables the legislature to enact laws to enforce the extension of a prior year’s appropriations if a new appropriations measure is not ratified.

| Sponsor: | Sen. Jake Hoffman (R) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Summary: | The 2024 general election ballot is to carry the question of whether to amend the Arizona Constitution to approve an increased distribution rate from the state land trust permanent funds. Requires, if the amendment is approved, revised salary schedules to increase the base salary of all eligible teachers that is the amount estimated by the Arizona State Treasurer that will be deposited in the Teacher Pay Fund (Teacher Fund) for the budget year, and the same amount for each “eligible teacher” (defined) without regard to experience levels. Prohibits a school from reducing the base salaries of an eligible teacher below the salary reported by the Arizona Department of Education (ADOE) FY2024-25 with certain exceptions. Establishes the Teacher Fund consisting of legislative appropriations and distributions from the permanent State School Fund. Provides that monies in the Teacher Fund are continuously appropriated and are exempt from lapsing. Requires ADOE to administer the fund and establish procedures. Establishes guidelines for allocation of monies. Prohibits Teacher Fund monies from causing any reduction in other funding sources for the school. Exempts Teacher Fund monies from revenue control limits. Requires ADOE to allocate monies appropriated by the legislature to the Teacher Fund according to the terms of the appropriation for salary increases not required by this statute. Requires the Arizona State Treasurer, by March 30 of each year, to provide the Joint Legislative Budget Committee with an estimate of the amount that will be deposited in the Teacher Fund for the budget year. Requires the Joint Legislative Budget Committee, by March 30 of each year, to determine a per teacher amount from the Teacher Fund for the budget year based on listed considerations. Requires each school that receives monies to submit a yearly report by November 15 to the Superintendent of Public Instruction. Requires ADOE in conjunction with the Arizona Auditor General (AAG) to prescribe the format of the report. Requires ADOE, on report from AAG, to determine whether schools are in compliance. If ADOE determines that a school is not in compliance or has not corrected a deficiency within 90 days, the school is ineligible to receive monies from the Teacher Fund until the AAG reports that the school is in compliance. Requires a charter school budget to include the number of eligible teachers employed by the school for the current year and their salary schedule. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
