The bill would let police take away a truck from an undocumented driver who uses a fake commercial license and force the driver or employer to pay.

This bill would let large multinational companies pay less in state taxes by allowing them to ignore certain profits they make overseas.

If this bill passes, big companies that do business around the world will get a special discount on their Arizona taxes. The bill changes the rules so that certain profits made in other countries do not count toward the company's state tax bill. When huge corporations pay less in taxes, the state has less money for schools, roads, and other public services. Everyday people end up carrying more of the weight. Now is the time to speak up before this quiet tax break moves forward.

This bill lets parents collect two different types of state-funded private school vouchers for the same child at the same time.

Right now, Arizona law says families must choose between an Empowerment Scholarship Account or a tax-credit scholarship. This bill crosses out that rule. By letting parents stack both payouts, it funnels even more taxpayer money toward private schools. This drains resources from the general fund and public schools where most kids learn.

The Wealthy / Donors

• Funding Tilt (hurts) — Allows stacking of state-subsidized education funds.. The bill deletes the clause that prevents a student from accepting a School Tuition Organization scholarship concurrently with an Empowerment Scholarship Account.
• Accountability (hurts) — Removes a financial guardrail.. By striking the concurrent use ban, it allows double-dipping into different state-backed education funds.

The bill would give tax breaks to owners of new data centers that meet big investment rules, shifting that revenue loss to Arizona taxpayers.

• Rights & Protections (neutral) — No direct impact on personal legal rights.. Bill does not change citizens' ability to sue or protect themselves.

This bill would force health insurance companies to pay nurse anesthetists the same amount of money they pay doctors for the exact same work.

Right now, insurance companies usually pay nurses less than doctors for putting you to sleep before surgery. This bill would make insurers pay nurse anesthetists the higher doctor rate. While this is a big win for these nurses, insurance companies will probably raise your monthly premiums to cover the extra cost. It is a tug-of-war between two big groups over money, and everyday patients might end up footing the bill.

Nurse Anesthetists

• Accountability (neutral) — Neutral. The bill does not change anyone's right to sue or hold providers accountable.
• Rights & Protections (neutral) — Neutral. This is a payment dispute between providers and insurers, not a change to patient rights.
• Who Bears the Cost (hurts) — Negative. Forcing insurers to pay higher rates to nurses will likely cause them to raise premiums for everyday people.
• Process Transparency (neutral) — Neutral. Does not affect public records or government transparency.
• Funding Tilt (hurts) — Negative. The bill uses state power to guarantee higher payouts for a specific medical profession.

This bill would let mobile home park owners add an extra fee of up to $8 when they bill renters for utilities like water or electricity.

Mobile home residents often live on tight budgets. This bill would allow landlords to tack a new administrative fee onto utility bills. While the bill caps the fee at $8 to stop extreme charges, it still means higher monthly costs for people who rent space in these parks.

Mobile home park landlords

• Accountability (neutral) — Neutral impact. The bill does not significantly change legal accountability for either party.
• Rights & Protections (neutral) — Mixed impact. It caps the new fee at $8 and requires clear disclosure, but it still introduces a new allowable charge.

Arizona could sue scientists who publish fake research, but universities and drug makers would be exempt, and penalties would go to the state.

People could gain a tool to stop bogus studies, but big labs and pharma stay safe from lawsuits, and any fines end up in the state budget instead of helping victims.

Universities and drug manufacturers

• Rights & Protections (neutral) — Creates a right to sue but also carves out exemptions.. Exempts accredited universities and drug‑manufacturer‑funded research.

This bill would force health insurance companies to pay for prosthetic limbs that let people run, swim, and shower without charging them unfair extra fees.

Right now, insurance companies often refuse to pay for prosthetic limbs designed for sports or showering. They claim these items are not needed for basic health. This bill would change the rules. It would force insurers to cover devices that let people live full, active lives. It would also stop them from slapping unfair fees on amputees or denying coverage based on a disability. If this passes, people who need artificial limbs will get the gear they need to run, swim, and work without going broke.

This bill stops companies from using your personal data to secretly charge you a higher price than someone else.

Have you ever noticed a flight or hotel get more expensive after you search for it a few times? This bill targets that kind of creepy pricing. It makes it illegal for companies to use your personal data, location, or browsing habits to charge you a customized price. Even better, it bans the fine print that blocks you from suing them in a real court, meaning you can actually team up with other customers to hold them accountable.

Everyday People

• Accountability (helps) — Strong penalties and enforcement. Fines companies $3,500 per violation and allows the Attorney General to investigate.
• Rights & Protections (helps) — Restores the right to sue. Protects consumer privacy and explicitly voids fine-print contracts that block people from filing group lawsuits.

This bill would stop landlords from charging too much for applications and hidden fees, helping renters save money and understand costs better.

This bill would make it fairer for people looking for a place to live. Landlords would have to be clear about all costs upfront, so renters would not be surprised by extra fees for things like background checks or online payments. It would also stop landlords from charging for the same application more than once a year or for services like trash valet that a tenant might not want. Some landlords might say these fees help cover their costs, but this bill aims to protect renters from unfair charges while they are still looking for a home.

This bill would let people sue landlords for consumer fraud if they break rental rules, making it easier to fight unfair practices.

This bill would give tenants a powerful new way to hold landlords accountable. If a landlord breaks the rules in Arizona's rental laws, like not fixing things or charging unfair fees, this bill would let people use consumer fraud laws to take them to court. This means tenants could get help from the state's consumer protection office and might get more money back if they win. Landlords might say this makes it too easy to sue them, but supporters would say it protects renters from bad landlords. It is important for people to speak up now if they want to make it easier for tenants to fight unfair treatment.

• Funding Tilt (neutral) — The bill does not mention new funding or spending.. The bill does not include any appropriations or funding provisions.

This bill would make a public list of which bosses have worker injury insurance, so you can check if your boss or a contractor is covered.

This bill would create a public list of businesses and their worker injury insurance. This means workers could easily check if their boss has the right insurance to pay for injuries on the job. Other businesses could also check if a company they hire has proper insurance, especially in construction, to make sure everyone is covered if something goes wrong. Some might say this adds extra paperwork for businesses, but it aims to protect workers and other companies from problems if an employer tries to skip out on insurance.

This bill stops health insurance companies from using computer programs to automatically lower the amount they pay your doctor for your medical care.

Health insurance companies often use computer programs to automatically downgrade medical claims so they can pay less than what the doctor billed. When insurers do this, doctors lose money and might even pass the extra cost on to you. This bill forces insurers to have a real human doctor review the claim before they can cut the payout. It also gives your doctor a fair chance to fight back if the insurer refuses to pay the full amount.

Healthcare Providers

• Accountability (helps) — Forces insurers to use human reviewers.. Bans automated final decisions and requires a peer doctor to review the claim before lowering the payout.
• Process Transparency (helps) — Requires clear reasons for paying less.. Insurers must provide the specific reason, clinical rules used, and the name of the reviewer.
• Rights & Protections (helps) — Creates a strong appeals process.. Gives doctors 180 days to appeal and allows them to group similar denied claims together.

This bill would ban health insurance companies from charging high-risk men out-of-pocket costs for in-network prostate cancer screenings.

Right now, high-risk men might skip life-saving prostate cancer screenings because of copays or deductibles. This bill forces insurance companies to cover the full cost for men over 40 who have a family history, carry certain genes, are of African descent, or are veterans exposed to Agent Orange. It is a straightforward win for patients that removes a financial barrier to catching cancer early.

Everyday People

• Rights & Protections (helps) — Expands healthcare access. Mandates that insurers cover life-saving cancer screenings without charging patients extra.

Losing your hair during cancer treatment is hard enough. Right now, insurance companies can refuse to pay for cooling caps that save a patient's hair. This bill changes the rules.
