AZ HB2313

State treasurer shall transmit 5 percent of transaction privilege tax revenues collected monthly from sources on Indian reservations to the treasurer of each qualifying Indian tribe.

Distributed monies are exclusively for operations, maintenance, renewal, and capital expenses of a joint technical education district (JTED) formed on the qualifying tribe's own reservation.

Qualifying Indian tribes must enter into a compact with the state signed by the governor before receiving any monies, with a minimum term of at least ten years and renewable for additional ten-year terms.

Compact must require monies to be used primarily for JTED expenses and provide for audits by the auditor general, with audit results submitted to the joint legislative budget committee.

Compact may provide for reimbursement to the department of implementation costs not exceeding $150,000 from revenues otherwise paid to the qualifying tribe.
