AI Summary

This bill modifies several provisions related to special districts in Arizona, with a primary focus on protecting contractors and ensuring they are paid for infrastructure work. The bill requires that all construction contracts entered into by a revitalization district must comply with state contract regulations, and importantly, prohibits municipalities from using or allowing use of infrastructure if contractors have not been fully paid. The bill adds new conditions for district dissolution, specifically mandating that all monies owed to contractors must be paid in full before a district can be dissolved. Additionally, the bill prevents a district from being dissolved if it owes money to a licensed contractor for infrastructure installation. The changes aim to provide more financial protection for contractors working on infrastructure projects in special districts by ensuring they receive full payment for their work and preventing municipalities or districts from benefiting from infrastructure without compensating those who constructed it. The bill applies only to infrastructure construction work commenced on or after the effective date of the act, thus prospectively implementing these new protections for contractors.
