An Arizona House panel advanced a bill designed to relieve Corporation Commissioner Andy Tobin of a conflict of interest.
A strike-everything amendment to HB2123 from Rep. John Allen, R-Scottsdale, would make clear that conflict-of-interest laws related to the Legislature would also apply to the Corporation Commission.
The House Appropriations Committee voted 8-4 in favor of the striker. Reps. Rick Gray and Mark Cardenas abstained from voting.
