HB 2729: insurance coverage requirements; transportation companies.
Sponsor: Representative Grantham, LD 14
Committee on Regulatory Affairs

Overview
Changes the minimum primary commercial uninsured motorist coverage for both

transportation network drivers and livery, taxi and limousine drivers.

History
Statute defines transportation network company as an entity that uses a digital network or

software application to connect passengers to transportation network services provided by
company drivers using vehicles of which the company does not possess ownership (A.R.S. §
28-9551). Statute outlines the motor vehicle liability coverage for transportation network
drivers and taxi, livery or limousine drivers that have accepted a ride request and are
providing transportation to a passenger as:

1) primary commercial motor vehicle liability insurance covering a minimum of $250,000
per incident; and

2) primary commercial uninsured motorist coverage of a minimum of $250,000 per
incident.

Transportation network drivers must always carry proof of insurance while logged into the
transportation network company's digital network and taxi, livery and limo drivers must
carry proof of insurance at all times while providing transportation services (A.R.S. §§ 28-

4038, 28-4039).

Provisions

1. Modifies the minimum primary commercial uninsured motorist coverage for both
transportation network drivers and livery, taxi and limousine drivers from $250,000 per
incident to $25,000 per person and $50,000 per incident. (Sec. 1, 2)

2. Makes technical changes. (Sec. 2)

Committee on Regulatory Affairs

Overview
Continues the Registrar of Contractors (ROC) for 8 years.

History
Established in 1931, ROC licenses and regulates residential and commercial contractors,

investigates complaints against contractors, is authorized to suspend or revoke licenses,
conduct hearings, issue citations and assess civil penalties. ROC's daily operations are
overseen by the Governor appointed Registrar. ROC is a 90/10 agency that deposits 90% of
its collected revenues into the ROC Fund for administrative expenses and 10% into the state
General Fund.

The Residential Contractors' Recovery Fund is administered by ROC for the benefit of
claimants damaged by an act, representation, transaction or conduct of a licensed registered
contractor that is in violation of statutory rules or regulations relating to contractors (Title
32, Chapter 10, A.R.S.).

ROC is set to terminate on July 1, 2024 (A.R.S. § 41-304.04). The House of Representatives
Commerce Committee of Reference (COR) met on January 16, 2024, to conduct a sunset
review of ROC and recommended that the ROC be continued for 8 years.

Provisions
1. Continues, retroactive to July 1, 2024, the ROC until July 1, 2082. (Sec. 2, 4)

2. Repeals the Agency on January 1, 2033. (Sec. 2)

HB 2247: marijuana regulatory board; licensing qualifications
Sponsor: Representative Payne, LD 27
Committee on Regulatory Affairs

Overview
Establishes the Marijuana Regulatory Board (Board) and transfers the administration of
state marijuana laws from the Department of Health Services (DHS) to the Board.

History
The sale and use of marijuana is primarily governed by two major propositions enacted by

the people of Arizona. Proposition 203~2010, the Arizona Medical Marijuana Act, and
Proposition 207~2022, the Safe and Smart Act.

Proposition 203 established a legal marijuana regime for use by qualified patients for
medicinal purposes. DHS is required to adopt and enforce a regulatory system for the
distribution of marijuana for medical use, including a system for approving, renewing and
revoking the registration of qualifying patients, designated caregivers, nonprofit
dispensaries and dispensary agents (A.R.S. Title 36, Chapter 28.1; AZSOS publicity

pamphlet, prop. 203).

Proposition 207 legalized marijuana for adult personal use. Adults over 21 are permitted to
possess, purchase, transport or process 1 ounce or less of marijuana or 5 grams or less of
marijuana concentrate. DHS is responsible for licensing and regulating marijuana,
marijuana retail sales, marijuana growth and testing facilities in Arizona (A.R.S. Title 36,
Chapter 28.2; ADOR, Adult Use Marijuana).

3. Asserts succession and continuity between DHS and the Board and provides for the

from DHS to the Board. (Sec. 6)
4. Repeals the Board on July 1, 2034. (Sec. 4)
5. Repeals state laws relating to marijuana on January 1, 2035. (Sec. 4)

Board Members and Director

HB 2473: licensure renewal; fee waiver
Sponsor: Representative Kolodin, LD 3
Committee on Regulatory Affairs

Overview
Requires the Board of Behavioral Health Examiners (Board) to waive the associate level

license renewal fee under specified circumstances.

History
The Board is comprised of 8 professional members and 4 public members who are each

appointed by the Governor (A.R.S. § 32-3252). Responsibilities of the Board include: 1) issuing
and renewing licenses for qualified individuals; 2) establishing and collecting fees; and 3)
keeping records of all licensed persons, applications, dispersed monies and the actions taken
on licenses including the renewal, suspension, denial or revocation or probation of a licensee
(A.B.S. § 32-3253).

The Board can issue and collect reasonable fees for the following: 1) issuance of a license up
to $500; 2) renewal of a license up to $500 and to not increase by more than $25 per year; and
3) fees for the approval of educational criteria. The Board must establish fees that fund the
approximate cost of maintaining the board. If an applicant has paid the fee or an initial or
renewal associate level license within 90 days of applying for an independent level license,
statute requires the Board to waive the application fee for the independent level license
(A.B.S. § 32-3272).

Provisions
1. Directs the Board to waive the renewal fee for an associate level license if the licensee:

a) has submitted the renewal application; and
b) the application for independent licensure is pending at the time of renewal. (Sec. 1)

2. Makes technical changes, (Sec. 1)
