(TEXT OF BILL BEGINS ON NEXT PAGE)
Be it enacted by the Legislature of the State of Arizona:
Section 1. Section 43-206, Arizona Revised Statutes, is amended to read:
43-206. Urban revenue sharing fund; allocation; distribution
A. There is established an urban revenue sharing fund. The fund shall consist of an amount equal to fifteen per cent of the net proceeds of the state income taxes for the fiscal year two years preceding the current fiscal year.
B. For fiscal years 2011-2012 through 2029-2030, the fund shall be distributed to as follows:
1. An amount not to exceed the net proceeds of the state income taxes for fiscal year 2009-2010 shall be allocated among incorporated cities and towns as provided in this section, except that a city or town shall receive at least an amount equal to what a city or town with a population of fifteen hundred or more persons would receive. The transfer of net proceeds prescribed by section 49‑282, subsection B does not affect the calculation of net proceeds prescribed by this subsection paragraph.
2. Any amount in excess of the distributions under paragraph 1 shall be credited to the state general fund and appropriated each fiscal year:
(a) To pay state obligations under lease-purchase and sale and leaseback agreements relating to state capital assets.
(b) To supplant all or part of transaction privilege tax payments pursuant to sections 42-5030 and 42-5031.
C. Beginning in fiscal year 2030-2031, the fund shall be distributed to incorporated cities and towns as provided in this section, except that a city or town shall receive at least an amount equal to what a city or town with a population of fifteen hundred or more persons would receive. The transfer of net proceeds prescribed by section 49-282, subsection B does not affect the calculation of net proceeds prescribed by this subsection.
B. D. Each city or town shall share in the urban revenue sharing fund in the proportion that the population of each bears to the population of all. Except as provided by sections 42‑5033 and 42‑5033.01, the population of a city or town as determined by the most recent United States decennial census plus any revisions to the decennial census certified by the United States bureau of the census shall be used as the basis for apportioning monies pursuant to this subsection.
C. E. The treasurer, upon on instruction from the department, shall transmit, no later than the tenth day of each month, to each city or town an amount equal to one‑twelfth of that city's or town's total entitlement for the current fiscal year from the urban revenue sharing fund as determined by the department.
D. F. A newly incorporated city or town shall share in the urban revenue sharing fund beginning the first month of the first full fiscal year following incorporation.
E. G. On receipt of a certificate of default from the greater Arizona development authority pursuant to section 41‑1554.06 or 41‑1554.07, the state treasurer, to the extent not otherwise expressly prohibited by law, shall withhold from the next succeeding distribution of monies pursuant to this section due to the city or town the amount specified in the certificate of default and immediately deposit the amount withheld in the greater Arizona development authority revolving fund. The state treasurer shall continue to withhold and deposit the monies until the authority certifies to the state treasurer that the default has been cured. In no event shall the state treasurer withhold any amount that is necessary, as certified by the defaulting political subdivision to the state treasurer and the authority, to make any required deposits then due for the payment of principal and interest on bonds of the political subdivision that were issued prior to the date of the loan repayment agreement or bonds and that have been secured by a pledge of distributions made pursuant to this section.
