stakeholders and fails to strike the correct balance between deregulation and safety requirements,” Gov. Katie Hobbs (D) wrote in the veto letter. HB 2793 instructed school district and charter school governing boards to adopt internet policies that limit students’ use of wireless devices. Gov. Katie Hobbs (D) wrote in her veto letter that the legislation was unnecessary as schools are currently addressing the issue. The bipartisan bill was sponsored by Rep. Beverly Pingerelli (R-Peoria).
Supply regulations. The bipartisan bill was sponsored by Sen. Gail Griffin (R-Hereford). HB 2328 permitted mobile food vendors to operate on private, residential property under the condition they are operating during designated hours of operation. The bill also prohibited the Arizona Department of Health Services from requiring mobile food units to have generators and limited municipal fees for issuing location-based licenses. It provided an exception allowing mobile food units to operate without a commissary or other servicing area. The bipartisan bill was sponsored by Rep. Kevin Payne (R-Peoria). “The crafting of this legislation was done without input from key community
information used to evaluate assured water supply designations. In vetoing, Gov. Katie Hobbs (D) cited the information is already available and the bill would have created “unnecessary bureaucratic processes that would delay further updates and release of information.” The bipartisan bill was sponsored by Sen. Gail Griffin (R-Hereford). HB 2062 required the Arizona Department of Water Resources to review applications for certificates of assured water supply in the Phoenix Active Management Area and issue its determination within 15 days. Buckeye is in the Phoenix AMA. In her veto letter, Gov. Katie Hobbs (D) said the bill would “erode water protections” while weakening and circumventing Assured Water
SB 1182 required reasonable accommodations for people unwilling or unable to use a multi-occupancy shower room designated for their sex at birth. The bill also allowed private cause of action for a person denied reasonable accommodation or to a person who encountered a person of the opposite sex at birth in a multi-occupancy shower. The partisan bill was sponsored by Sen. John Kavanagh (R-Fountain Hills). “As I have said time and time again,” wrote Gov. Katie Hobbs (D) in her veto letter, “I will not sign legislation that attacks Arizonans.” HB 2019 required the Arizona Department of Water Resources to provide the public access to groundwater modeling
in the future to mitigate disease outbreaks,” Gov. Katie Hobbs (D) wrote in her veto letter. “This bill would pose a risk to the health and safety of Arizonans, as well as the vitality of cattle ranchers and farmers.” SB 1151 permitted teachers or school administrators to post or read copies of excerpts from the Ten Commandments. The partisan bill was sponsored by Sen. Anthony Kern (R-Glendale). “This legislation establishes an unnecessary mandate for an issue schools are already addressing,” Gov. Katie Hobbs (D) wrote in her veto letter. SB 1172 gave those with grandfathered rights to irrigate lands in an active management area the ability to permanently retire the land from an irrigation status to non-irrigation status while retaining their physical availability credit. The bipartisan bill mostly affecting Buckeye and Queen Creek was sponsored by Sen. T.J. Shope (R-Coolidge). SB 1172 was a companion bill to SB 1181, SB 1081 and SB 1242, which were all signed by Hobbs on June 19. The bills were all originally part of HB 2201 before being split into individual senate bills, this being the only one to fail. “The concept at the core of this bill — conversion of agricultural lands to lower water use development — is a policy that has broad potential benefits and is one that my administration supports,” Gob. Katie Hobbs (D) wrote in her veto letter. “However, it is critical that the legislation be carefully crafted to ensure that the water conservation savings and consumer protections are guaranteed.” She further stated Arizona’s active management areas do not support adoption of the program, citing the need for more development time.
SB 1415 required any municipality with a population of at least 75,000 to permit single-family home lots to build at least one attached or detached accessory dwelling unit. It also banned cities from prohibiting advertising the dwelling unit as a separately leased, long-term rental, removed requirements for the tenant to be related to the owner and eliminated some dwelling unit design specifications. The bill was sponsored by Sen. Anna Hernandez (D-Phoenix).

SB 1097 required school district governing board candidates to disclose their political affiliation beginning next year. The bipartisan bill was sponsored by Sen. Justine Wadsack (R-Tucson). “This bill will further the politicization and polarization of Arizona’s school district governing boards whose focus should remain on making the best decisions for students,” Gov. Katie Hobbs (D) said in her veto letter. “Partisan politics do not belong in Arizona’s schools.” SB 1146 allowed aquaculture, poultry or livestock products that have not received a messenger ribonucleic acid vaccination to carry an mRNA-free label. Additionally, the bill prohibited the Arizona Department of Agriculture or State Veterinarian from requiring an mRNA vaccination that has not received full federal approval. The partisan bill was sponsored by Sen. Anthony Kern (R-Glendale). “Vaccines are an important tool for Arizona ranchers and farmers and the Arizona Department of Agriculture may rely on the use of mRNA vaccines
