AI Summary

  • Amends Arizona Revised Statutes section 42-5031.01 to modify distribution of transaction privilege tax revenues to Indian tribes for postsecondary educational institutions.

  • Changes allowable uses of distributed revenues to specifically support "college campuses" rather than "colleges," and requires tribes to enter into compacts with the state for each college or campus.

  • Modifies the revenue cap by establishing a minimum distribution of one-tenth of transaction privilege tax revenues from the reservation (but not less than $1.75 million per fiscal year), replacing the previous cap structure.

  • Requires qualifying Indian tribes to have a compact signed by the governor for each college or campus, lasting at least ten years with renewal options, and subject to audits by the auditor general.

  • Defines "qualifying Indian tribe" as an Indian tribe that owns, operates and charters any community college or postsecondary educational institution located on its own reservation in Arizona.
