Bills on the business personal property tax exemption and litigation transparency need final push to passage in the House

While they’re on recess until May 20, NFIB members and other small business owners are urged to make another call or send another email to their representatives asking for their vote on two priority bills awaiting a vote by the entire House upon their return.

One is Senate Bill 1069, which would raise the Business Personal Property Tax exemption to $500,000 per taxpayer starting January 1, 2026. Raising the exemption would reduce record-keeping and compliance costs enormously.

Check out these two web stories on the NFIB website for more information:

— Take Action on the Business Personal Property Tax Exemption

— Small Business Applauds Senate for Raising Arizona’s Personal Property Tax Exemption

The other small business priority is Senate Bill 1215, which would throw back the curtain to reveal the third-parties that are sponsoring predatory lawsuits.

Check out these two web stories on the NFIB website for more information:

— Support Litigation Financing Transparency

— Knowing Who’s Suing You Should be a Fundamental Right

Both bills have passed the Senate and are awaiting for the House to approve them.
