Notes on reading the tallies: the transcript records clerk-read tallies and, in some places, includes phrasing such as “for not voting” that reflects the floor readout; those phrases are reproduced here as presented in the record. Several bills also were reported by committees (committee of the whole) earlier in the session for do-pass recommendations before placement on the calendar or third reading.

The measure adjusts provisions related to commercial motor vehicles, including allowing wider turns and changing certain criminal violations to civil penalties.

Representative Gris said she supported the safe-turning elements of the bill but opposed reducing criminal penalties for violations tied to interstate or foreign commerce, noting a risk that civil fines could become a cost of doing business for unregistered carriers. “I worry that we're going to just build into the price of doing business… Dollars 500. Don't have to worry about it here in Arizona,” she said when explaining her vote.

Representative Collin supported the bill’s decriminalization elements, arguing Arizona has too many criminal offenses and that civil penalties and other enforcement mechanisms can achieve compliance without excessive incarceration. “We need to decriminalize a lot of things in this state,” Collin said.

The clerk recorded the House vote as 52 ayes, 3 nays and 5 not voting; the bill was passed and the action will be conveyed to the Senate.","Lawmakers passed Senate Bill 13-70, which adjusts rules for commercial motor vehicles including penalties for certain violations; supporters framed decriminalization as limiting unnecessary incarceration, while critics warned it could weaken enforcement of interstate and foreign commerce rules.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6603974,"House committee recommends 'do pass' on Senate bill to limit local photo enforcement; supporters, critics clash",273,1327000,1600000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2994874-eb547c714c9a02e33622be4a0001f1c6&start=1327&end=1600","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2994874-eb547c714c9a02e33622be4a0001f1c6/thumbnail_1327000.jpg","/articles/6603974/Arizona/House-committee-recommends-do-pass-on-Senate-bill-to-limit-local-photo-enforcement-supporters-critics-clash","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6603974-0c45dfeba70df97d15b7ebf175094aa1/orig.mp4?Expires=1770810771&Signature=csrThKtrk25Ea9WLLZQp1h6pNbVEY3W3gmpzXwhlvDGw5jC07Bfnh3KHrNlgdmIoyaS71vUzEOjwn9rmxVcm6X~h~71r36CQhVN4QnwiBWKs1l6e9vTVFproZ~zlOAAXDVi6I1nclGd2V1TflasjE99KyblWN0wo2ayhE-g2PT1OEfZ8nylzoeGS~ZWjGAYp2BtxO6Cyz2ef9EQ0CNhrW6IEBCsSjIFLqosrfR8HL61Xrpny7ujLUmCA5Nk9Bd-p6CjJSxN9OqG9YV9EqBb2hHdq0Uap7Hl7ph8sdm~Jbxh90PBx1l3nDVxlqUqo0E19EMbV3SB5czbzKCnpJ6Utug__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The House Committee of the Whole recommended that Senate Bill 10-19 receive a do-pass recommendation after floor discussion on April 14, 2025. The bill would limit local governments’ use of photo enforcement systems for speed and red-light enforcement.

Representative de los Santos argued against the bill, calling speed-related crashes a serious and growing public-health problem and saying, “Photo enforcement systems have been proven to save lives and enforce law and order,” and noting that speeding crashes injured nearly 20,000 Arizonans in 2021. Representative Patty Contreras urged members to protect local control and keep photo enforcement as a tool, saying cameras “reduce collisions” and citing a local Paradise Valley example with reductions in crashes.

Representative Biazucci (committee proponent) moved that the committee recommend the bill. After limited floor discussion, the committee reported the bill as do-pass and the chair ordered the recommendation. The transcript records the committee’s recommendation and proponents’ and opponents’ remarks but does not record final third-reading passage in the provided excerpt.

The debate juxtaposed public-safety data cited by critics of the bill with arguments for local control and legislative clarification of enforcement practices. The transcript includes claims about statewide crash costs and fatality rates; members on both sides urged colleagues to weigh evidence about whether photo enforcement reduces crashes.","Senate Bill 10-19, which would restrict use of photo enforcement systems for speed and signal violations, received a do-pass recommendation from the House Committee of the Whole after heated floor remarks reflecting public-safety and local-control concerns.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6603979,"House committee backs 3-year budgeting rule for schools; supporters cite fiscal oversight, opponents call it burdensome",885,2142000,3027000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2994874-eb547c714c9a02e33622be4a0001f1c6&start=2142&end=3027","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2994874-eb547c714c9a02e33622be4a0001f1c6/thumbnail_2142000.jpg","/articles/6603979/Arizona/House-committee-backs-3-year-budgeting-rule-for-schools-supporters-cite-fiscal-oversight-opponents-call-it-burdensome","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6603979-f7fecee35b9ef75b362c60d95da38de5/orig.mp4?Expires=1770810771&Signature=CKZY7gFB-0vo64pQ8UCbbejzco50yzEgK2oVZwZYqed5Ea7ckv4KEP7CjWMEcPVlUEriW9WAW5kHCh8hznGDR-KXys~39PGZHu-V4xk8XEsE1WUrVbmJIX~UkLuMpqQInbaPOGI58falgH1pmaSm99CPuQVM5n68FhT2kU6R8iwV04e9UdINOtT4n1BjjAcLn0YCn0A1xI~w2~SlRSiGeSduuCtNBOeGE74T~SEZegF6LTW5x0ThAtou9vhiDJapWCjMjaO-06d62NGoVhhfFmX9RhPOOTdkBoA3-Q-1f7670p7iNB2v9rwbNSKW~5EGqJBjJ9cZwXUsDgGAha3OKw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The House Committee of the Whole recommended that Senate Bill 14-72 receive a do-pass recommendation after floor debate on April 14, 2025. The bill would require Arizona school districts to prepare three-year budgets and three-year student enrollment projections.

Sponsor Representative Gress said the measure promotes fiscal responsibility, arguing some districts experienced steep enrollment declines without corresponding adaptations in staffing and spending. “The school board needs to have a better grasp and a better sense of their finances,” Gress said, citing the Isaac Elementary School District’s loss of enrollment as an example.

Opponents, including Representative Gutierrez and Representative (unnamed school board member in remarks), said the proposal places an unfair burden on districts because the Legislature does not guarantee multi-year funding and local budgets are affected by variables outside districts’ control. “Until we are able to provide our public schools with three years worth of funding… I’m not really sure how we can ask for them to project a budget,” Representative Gutierrez said.

Other speakers noted that several district finances are already on the Auditor General’s risk list, and supporters argued a three-year outlook would give districts and taxpayers more certainty. The discussion included technical points about the state funding formula, assessed value inputs and the aggregate expenditure limit (AEL); Representative Gress said the AEL has never been triggered in recent years and urged colleagues to expect inflation payments to continue when forecasting.

The committee recommended the bill move forward; the transcript records committee reporting and discussion but does not show final passage in the House on this day.","House members debated Senate Bill 14-72, which would require school districts to adopt three-year budgets and enrollment projections.

The final tally was 31 ayes, 25 nays and 4 not voting.

Supporters said the bill creates a narrowly tailored option for parents who want spiritual support available on campus. “Parents have to sign off on their child seeing a chaplain. Parents get to see the list of those chaplains,” Representative Gress said during debate, adding the bill “prohibits chaplains from proselytizing” and is aimed at “empowering parents.”

Opponents argued the measure weakens the separation of church and state and risks substituting volunteers for trained counselors and social workers. “This bill blurs the lines and may open a door for youth to be peer pressured into participating,” Representative Cruz said. Representative De Los Santos urged funding for counselors instead, saying chaplains are not “trained counselors, psychologists, or social workers.”

The bill requires schools to notify guardians that support services are available, to obtain written guardian consent before a student receives chaplain services, and to allow guardians to select a chaplain from a provided list. The debate included examples and personal testimony: Representative Pamela Carter described a volunteer mentor who helped at-risk students and said such supports can be valuable, while Representative Peschikai described historic harms from forced religious assimilation in federal boarding-school contexts and urged a no vote.

Backers cited existing community programs and said the bill does not compel schools to adopt chaplaincy programs. Critics raised legal concerns and asked whether volunteers would be subject to the same background checks and vetting required of school employees; Representative Stahl Hamilton said current bill text allows exceptions that could create vetting gaps and voted against it for that reason.

The House’s passage sends SB 12-69 back to the Senate. The transcript shows the measure was debated extensively on the floor, with repeated appeals to parental choice and to concerns about student safety, mental-health staffing and historical harms.

The measure’s passage was followed by standard legislative procedure to convey the action to the Senate.","The Arizona House passed Senate Bill 12-69 to permit volunteer chaplains to provide services in public schools with parental consent and restrictions on proselytizing. The measure passed 31–25 amid vigorous floor debate over church-state separation, student safety and mental-health staffing.","actionData","errors"]
