Controversial Immigration Legislation Defeated in the Senate

Today was a critical day for Arizona's Tourism Industry and business community at the State Capitol. Five controversial bills focusing on new immigration legislation were heard on the Senate Floor.  

  • SB 1308 & SB1309 focused on birthright citizenship
  • SB 1405 restricted hospital admissions
  • SB 1407 denied public education
  • SB 1611 referenced all public services in an omnibus bill

We are thrilled to say that the efforts of daily legislative visits, emails, phone calls, hearing testimonials and letters were validated by today's defeat of ALL five bills on the Senate Floor. Had they passed, they would have moved on to the House, but not clearing the Senate Floor means that these particular bills are likely no longer a threat this year.

The ATA has been actively engaged on all legislation moving through the 2011 Session. We have been acutely focused on educating members of the Senate and House to the damaging economic impacts that further legislation focusing on immigration could have on our state's fragile recovery and the 200,000 jobs supported by tourism. 

We owe our deepest gratitude to ALL of the senators who voted against these bills. In particular, we are thankful for the nine Republicans who stood strong amidst incredible pressure to protect Arizona's business community.  

Please join us in thanking the following Republican Senators who voted Nay on one or more of the bills: Allen, Antenori, Barto, Bundgaard, Crandall, Driggs, Gray, McComish, Nelson, Steve Pierce, Reagan and Yarbrough. We encourage our members to thank them for their support by calling or emailing them.  

We are also grateful to our many members who assisted with our strategy development and worked tirelessly to call, email and meet with legislators in their districts. Thank you!

If you have not done so already, we would still encourage you to make your donation to the Hotel & Tourism's Political Action Committee today to help further the influence of our industry!

Current Bills Under Review

H2537: IMMIGRATION LEGISLATION CHALLENGES

Amends Laws 2010, Chapter 211, that authorized the attorney general and

governor to defend the state in any legal proceeding challenging last year's

S10170 (immigration; law enforcement; safe neighborhoods) to delete

references to a terminal date for the authorization. Effect is to make the

authorization permanent. Additionally, the House speaker and Senate

president are authorized to hire lawyers to initiate legal proceedings or to

appear on behalf of their respective chambers in any legal challenge to

S1070. Session law; does not amend statute; valid only for the life of the

expired on Jan. 1, 2011. Also authorizes the speaker of the House of

Representatives and the president of the Senate to direct counsel to initiate

a legal proceeding or appear on behalf of their respective chambers or on

behalf of the Legislature in any challenge in a state or federal court to

SB1070. Retroactive to January 1, 2011. Emergency clause.

H2561: ARIZONA CITIZENSHIP

lawfully domiciled in Arizona.

H2562: BIRTH CERTIFICATES; CITIZENSHIP; INTERSTATE COMPACT

The Governor is authorized and directed to enter into an interstate birth

S1308: BIRTH CERTIFICATES; CITIZENSHIP; INTERSTATE COMPACT

The Governor is authorized and directed to enter into an interstate birth

certificate compact in a form substantially as specified. The purpose of the

compact is to make a distinction in the birth certificates, certifications of live

birth, or other birth records between a person born in the United States who

is subject to the jurisdiction of the United States and who is a natural born

citizen, and a person who is not born subject to the jurisdiction of the United

States. Defines “subject to the jurisdiction of the United States” as a child of

subject to the jurisdiction thereof, and the person is lawfully domiciled in

Arizona. Defines “subject to the jurisdiction of the United States” as a child of

or a person without nationality in any foreign country. A person is also a

citizen of Arizona if the person is naturalized in the United States and is

lawfully domiciled in Arizona.

The legislation that would continue the Arizona Office of tourism continues to wind its way through the process. Industry officials and the AOT leadership have come together with House Commerce Chairman Jim Weiers on a five year extension. AOT Director Sherry Henry told Weiers that she believes the five year extension will assist her office in the planning process.

H2078: TOURISM OFFICE; CONTINUATION

The statutory life of the Office of Tourism is extended 10 years to July 1,

2021. Retroactive to July 1, 2011.

Gaming once again has become a high profile issue as a result of the Tohono O’dom tribes recent attempt to have a significant parcel of land located about a mile or so due north of the University of Phoenix Stadium declared tribal land for the purpose of constructing a casino resort. This has drawn significant opposition in the form of legislation to stop the tribes from completing this effort. The ATA leadership is recommending that we support this legislation. Both bills have been passed and are awaiting Governor Brewer’s signature at the time of this report.

H2534/SB 1136: MUNICIPAL ANNEXATION; GLENDALE

Municipalities located in counties with more than 350,000 (Maricopa or Pima)

are authorized to annex any territory that is bordered by the municipality on

at least 3 sides if the landowner has requested that the federal government

take ownership of the territory. Annexation under these circumstances is

valid if approved by a majority vote of the municipal council and becomes

effective immediately if it is approved by at least a 2/3 vote. Emergency

clause.

HR2001: OPPOSITION; GAMING; NEW INDIAN RESERVATION

The House expresses its opposition to the Tohono O'odham Nation's

application to the federal government to create a reservation on land the

nation owns adjoining Glendale.

SR1001: OPPOSITION; GAMING; NEW INDIAN RESERVATION

The Senate express its opposition to an application by the Tohono O'odham

Nation to the federal government that a new Indian reservation be created

"within the exterior borders and neighborhoods" of the city of Glendale. The

Senate claims that even though the Tohono O'odham Nation changed its

application to remove a request for authority to conduct gaming on the

property, the Nation has "consistently stated its intention to conduct gaming"

at that location. Also, the state contends the federal government is barred

from creating a new reservation there because the land is a county island

within the city, and federal statute prohibits creation of a reservation "within

a city or town." The Senate authorizes legislative leadership to join as parties

to any lawsuit to enjoin the federal government from creating this new

reservation. The Secretary of State is directed to forward copies of this

resolution to the President of the United States, the presiding officers of each

chamber of Congress and each member of the state's congressional

delegation.

SCR1007: NEW INDIAN RESERVATION; GAMING; OPPOSITION

The Legislature expresses its opposition to an application by the Tohono

O'odham Nation to the federal government that a new Indian reservation be

created "within the exterior borders and neighborhoods" of the city of

Glendale. The Legislature claims that even though the Tohono O'odham

Nation changed its application to remove a request for authority to conduct

gaming on the property, the Nation has "consistently stated its intention to

conduct gaming" at that location. Also, the state contends the federal

government is barred from creating a new reservation there because the land

is a county island within the city, and federal statute prohibits creation of a

reservation "within a city or town." The Legislature authorizes legislative

leadership to join as parties to any lawsuit to enjoin the federal government

from creating this new reservation. The Secretary of State is directed to

forward copies of this resolution to the President of the United States, the

presiding officers of each chamber of Congress and each member of the

state's congressional delegation.

Other bills of interest that we are covering follow and will be dealt with in more detail in subsequent reports. The summaries are included for your review.

H2025: UNEMPLOYMENT; SPECIAL ASSESSMENT

The statute establishing a surtax on wages paid by employers that is part of

the mechanism for funding the unemployment insurance system is repealed

and replaced with language establishing a special assessment for calendar

years 2011 and 2012. The assessment for 2011 is 0.4 of 1% of taxable

wages; the assessment for 2012 is 0.6 of 1%. In each year, the assessment

is billed in the third quarter and payable in the fourth quarter. Assessments

are deposited in a special fund created by this legislation. Use of the monies

in the fund is restricted to (1) payment of interest on loans taken out by the

state to pay unemployment benefits and (2) repayment of the principal of

those loans. The rate of the special assessment may be adjusted up or down

depending on whether collections are sufficient to pay all interest and retire

the principal by October 31, 2012.

H2220: RACING FACILITIES; GAMING; RACINOS

Racing facilities may obtain a license from the Dept of racing to permit it to

hold casino-type games (including poker, blackjack and slots). A percentage

of daily gross gaming revenue (the amount is left blank in original) is to be

the net increase in state revenues, this measure requires a 2/3 majority in

each chamber for passage (Prop 108).

One of the seven members of the State Parks Board must be professionally

engaged in the tourism industry. All current Board members may continue to

The Dept of Liquor Licenses is authorized to issue beer festival licenses for

sampling of domestic microbrewery products on the beer festival premises,

and to issue beer fair licenses for sampling on the fair premises. Due to a

possible increase in state revenue, this bill requires the affirmative vote of at

least 2/3 of each house of the Legislature for passage (Prop 108).

H2351: VEHICLE RENTAL RETURN; FAILURE; CRIMINAL CLASSIFICATION

Unlawful failure to return a rented motor vehicle is a class 5 felony (increased

from a class 1 misdemeanor).

H2369: DUI; WORK RELEASE

of statewide concern, and the statutes permitting local jusisditions to regulate

them are repealed.

S1159: TAX CREDITS; MULTIMEDIA PRODUCTION

Statutes governing the individual and corporate income tax credits for

qualified motion picture production in Arizona are repealed and replaced.

Impossible to determine new provisions without a line by line comparison.

Retroactive to January 1, 2011. Also establishes a multimedia production

employment mentoring program. Emergency clause.

S1200: IGNITION INTERLOCK DEVICE; TIME REQUIREMENTS

The Dept of Transportation is required to reduce the time period that a

person convicted of a DUI must use an ignition interlock device to 6 months

if the person is a first time offender, voluntarily completes an alcohol or other

drug education or treatment program provided by a facility approved by the

Dept of Health Services, and has maintained a functioning ignition interlock

device for 6 consecutive months.

S1201: FIREARMS OMNIBUS

The state and state agencies are prohibited from enacting any ordinance,

rule or tax relating to the transportation, possession, sale, gift, storage,

registration or use of firearms or ammunition. It is no longer misconduct

involving weapons to carry a deadly weapon in a public establishment or at a

public event after a request from the operator to remove the weapon for

temporary and secure storage. The state, state agencies, and political

subdivisions may limit or prohibit firearms in a public establishment or at a

public event that is issued a liquor license at times when alcoholic beverages

are available for consumption on the premises, with some exceptions. The

limit or prohibition must be done with specified signs and meet other

requirements. An employee or official acting on behalf of the state, agency,

or political subdivision who knowingly violates this statute is guilty of a class

5 felony, and no public monies may be spent defending a person who is

charged with a violation.

S1221: URBAN REVENUE SHARING; DISTRIBUTION FREEZE

amount of income tax revenue that is distributed to municipalities (per

statutes establishing the urban revenue sharing program) is capped at the

amount of the "net proceeds of the state income taxes" for fiscal 2009-10.

[Capitol Reports note: the state places 15% of net income tax revenue in the

Urban Revenue Sharing Fund.] During the 20 years that this freeze is in

place, monies in the fund in excess of what is distributed to municipalities

shall be transferred to the state General Fund to pay off the sale and leaseback

of state property and to supplant sales tax payments to retire bonds

associated with certain multipurpose facilities and with the Phoenix and

Tucson convention centers.

S1262: LICENSE PLATES; SPECIAL; CENTENNIAL

The Dept of Transportation is required to issue Arizona Centennial special

license plates using $32,000 from the State Highway Fund to pay

implementation costs. Of the annual $25 fee, $8 is the special plate

administration fee and $17 is depostied in a Centennial Plate Fund of which

the first $32,000 shall be used to repay the Highway Fund. The director of

the department shall make quarterly allocations from the Centennial Plate

Fund to the Dept of Tourism for pay for centennial events and projects.

S1268: EXPIRED MOTION PICTURE INCENTIVES; REPEAL

Removes from statute all mention the expired motion picture tax incentive

Primary elections results

The primary elections on August 24th were good for tourism. From the list below you will see the highlighted candidates who won who we considered “Friends of Tourism” were significant in number. So we have a great base to work from moving forward into the general election.

But as Yogi Berra said, “It ain’t over till it’s over.”  We are engaging additional candidates in interviews who either did not have primaries or were unavailable to meet during the summer. In addition, and this is critical, we hope that Alliance members participate in events, fundraisers and campaign activities to make certain that we have the same success in the general that we did in the primary.

If any members know such candidates please let us know so we can add them to the subsequent list. This list reflects interviews conducted through July 30, 2010.)

 

Other news

The Alliance has been engaged in building coalitions with other business organizations to support the policy initiatives of the Alliance and the tourism industry in general.

Already this summer the Greater Phoenix Chamber Economic Development Committee adopted changes to its Guiding Principles, “SUPPORT INITIATIVES TO RECRUIT LEISURE AND BUSINESS TRAVEL TO ARIZONA AND IN PARTICULAR,THE PHOENIX METROPOLITAN REGION. “ 

They also included new language in their Priority Policies supporting, “LEGISLATIVE ACTIONS THAT SUPPORT PROPER UTILIZATION OF DEDICATED TOURISM FUNDS FOR THE PROMOTION OF ARIZONA LEISURE AND BUSINESS TRAVEL LOCALLY, NATIONALLY, AND INTERNATIONALLY.”

On September 16th we will be advocating the same proposal to the Tucson Chamber’s Economic Development Committee and initial conversations suggest that Tucson Chamber staff will be recommending that the committee adopt our language.

But we have not stopped there and that’s where Alliance members can be of help. Alliance members who are active members of committees or boards of local Chambers need to let us know of their participation so that we can present our proposals to their organizations.

Also we have continued our dialogue with legislative leadership towards restoring formula funding for AOT and removing the diversion of Prop 302 funds from Maricopa County CVB’s.

 

August 3, 2010

Over the last few months, Laura Tessier, some industry members, and I have been conducting candidate interviews. These interviews provide the opportunity to discuss issues that affect our industry and find out if the candidates running for the state legislatures are inclined towards support of the Tourism industry and our public policy initiatives. We have determined their relative support by how they addressed the following questions:

  • Do they have general understanding of the Tourism industry and its contribution to the states economy, jobs and employment, and contribution to tax revenue?
  • Would they be supportive of restoring formula funding to the Arizona Office of Tourism?
  • Would they support Prop 302 funds being returned in full to their intended use, to promote tourism in Maricopa County?
  • Would they support re-enacting the “Media Production Jobs Act,” also known as the Motion Picture Tax Credit?

While the candidates differed in articulating their position, the following is a list of candidates who were interviewed and have a primary race that have shown support for the Tourism industry. We will continue to conduct these interviews and will provide an updated list shortly after Labor Day for the general election.
