Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Dean Fink ruled on Tuesday that a rental-car tax passed by voters in 2000 and targeted at tourists violated the state Constitution because the revenue was being used for the wrong purpose.
That finding would force the Arizona Department of Revenue to refund the money to more than 100 rental-car companies, said Phoenix attorney Shawn Aiken, who represented the rental agencies.
The state is likely to appeal.
