AZ HB2151

Amends Arizona Revised Statutes section 48-805.01 to allow cities, towns, counties, and fire districts to form separate legal entities for jointly exercising common powers including fire protection, emergency medical services, and ambulance transportation services.

Allows the separate legal entity to establish its own governance and board structure composed of elected officials or their designees from the participating political subdivisions.

Permits the entity to serve as the authority for fire code administration and enforcement if specified in the intergovernmental agreement, and requires the entity to obtain a .gov website identifier.

Authorizes the entity to issue general obligation bonds with voter approval to fund acquisition or construction of structures, facilities, and equipment necessary to carry out the agreement's purposes.

Fire district boards participating in such agreements must hold public meetings at least every 90 days (instead of the standard meeting requirements) and are considered compliant with financial reporting requirements if cumulative financial reports are reviewed at least every 90 days.
