HB 2526 Summary

• Amends A.R.S. § 48-616 to expand the purposes of municipal street lighting improvement districts to include maintaining, repairing, and replacing street lighting facilities, in addition to purchasing energy for public street and park lighting.

• Changes language from "sole purpose" to "purposes" to allow districts to engage in multiple lighting-related activities rather than being limited to energy purchasing alone.

• Clarifies that improvement districts formed under this section are limited to maintaining, repairing, replacing street lighting facilities and purchasing energy; they cannot engage in other activities.

• Updates grammatical language throughout the statute (e.g., changing "which" to "that") without substantive changes to district powers or limitations.

• Applies the amendments retroactively to any municipal street lighting improvement districts formed before or after the effective date of this act.
