6464 Be it enacted by the Legislature of the State of Arizona: Section 1. Section 43-206, Arizona Revised Statutes, is amended to read: START_STATUTE43-206. Urban revenue sharing fund; allocation; distribution; withholding; definition A. The urban revenue sharing fund is established. Through fiscal year 2022-2023, the fund consists of an amount equal to fifteen percent of the net proceeds of the state income taxes for the fiscal year two years preceding the current fiscal year. Beginning in fiscal year 2023-2024, the fund consists of an amount equal to eighteen percent of the net proceeds of the state income taxes for the fiscal year two years preceding the current fiscal year. 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. 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 census bureau of the census shall be used as the basis for apportioning monies pursuant to this subsection. C. The treasurer, on instruction from the department, shall transmit, not 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. 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. On receipt of a certificate of default from the greater Arizona development authority pursuant to section 41-2257 or 41-2258, 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. The state treasurer may not 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 before the date of the loan repayment agreement or bonds and that have been secured by a pledge of distributions made pursuant to this section. F. Except as otherwise provided by this subsection, on notice from the attorney general pursuant to section 41-194.01, subsection B, paragraph 1 that an ordinance, regulation, order or other official action adopted or taken by the governing body of a city or town violates state law or the Constitution of Arizona, the state treasurer shall withhold the distribution of monies pursuant to this section to the affected city or town and shall continue to withhold monies pursuant to this subsection until the attorney general certifies to the state treasurer that the violation has been resolved. The state treasurer shall redistribute the monies withheld pursuant to this subsection among all other cities and towns in proportion to their population as provided by subsection B of this section. The state treasurer shall not withhold any amount that the city or town certifies to the attorney general and the state treasurer as being necessary to make any required deposits or payments for debt service on bonds or other long-term obligations of the city or town that were issued or incurred before committing the violation. G. Beginning in fiscal year 2023-2024, monies distributed to cities and towns pursuant to this section shall be used only for public safety services. If a city or town uses any monies distributed pursuant to this section for a purpose other than public safety services in any fiscal year, the state treasurer shall withhold an amount equal to those expenditures for the following fiscal year. H. For the purposes of this section, "public safety services" means the provision of police, fire and emergency medical services. END_STATUTE
