Be it enacted by the Legislature of the State of Arizona:
Section 1. Title 42, chapter 5, article 1, Arizona Revised Statutes, is amended by adding section 42-5031.02, to read:
42-5031.02. Distribution of revenues for Indian tribal joint technical education districts; compact; definition
A. Each month the state treasurer shall transmit to the treasurer or other designated depository of each qualifying Indian tribe five percent of the amount of transaction privilege tax revenues received pursuant to this article in the preceding month from all sources located on the Indian reservation established for the qualifying Indian tribe as determined pursuant to section 42‑5029, subsection A, paragraph 3.
B. The monies distributed pursuant to this section are for the exclusive purpose of supporting the operations, maintenance, renewal and capital expenses of a joint technical education district that is formed on a qualifying Indian tribe's own Indian reservation in this state. Before receiving any monies under this section, a qualifying Indian tribe must enter into a compact with this state that is signed by the governor to account for the use of monies distributed pursuant to this section. The compact shall:
1. Be for a term of at least ten years. After a hearing and review of the compact by the joint legislative budget committee held during the last year of the compact's term, a compact may be renewed for an additional term of up to ten years.
2. Require the monies to be used primarily to support the operations, maintenance, renewal and capital expenses of a joint technical education district that is formed on the qualifying Indian tribe's own reservation in this state.
3. Provide for audits by the auditor general of the use of the monies. The auditor general shall submit copies of each audit to the joint legislative budget committee.
4. If necessary, provide for reimbursement to the department of costs associated with implementing this section, not to exceed one hundred fifty thousand dollars, from revenues that would otherwise be paid to the qualifying Indian tribe pursuant to this section.
C. For the purposes of this section, "qualifying Indian tribe" means an Indian tribe that has a joint technical education district formed on its own reservation in this state.
