AI Summary

  • Creates Article 7 in Title 35, Chapter 5 of Arizona Revised Statutes, establishing a framework for Industrial Development Authorities to issue "jobs bonds" for financing commercial enterprises and veteran-owned small businesses.

  • Authorizes corporations to issue revenue bonds, loans, leases, and other debt instruments to finance jobs projects that create full-time private sector employment (minimum 35 hours per week) in Arizona for at least one employee.

  • Establishes that jobs bonds are special obligations of the issuing corporation only, with no liability to municipalities, counties, or the state, and cannot pledge public credit or taxing power.

  • Sets 30-day statute of limitations for challenging the validity of jobs bonds after the resolution's effective date, after which the bonds' legality is conclusively presumed.
