Arizona legislators ended the 2016 session without voting on HB 2384, the measure designed to give San Tan Valley residents an easier path toward a vote on whether or not to form a city.
House Speaker David Gowan refused to let the bill go to the floor for a final vote in the session’s final hours Saturday morning, according to a post on the Facebook page “San Tan Valley’s Right to Vote.”
Jess Knudson, Florence’s assistant town manager, said the end of HB 2384 was “good news for the town of Florence.” He said town officials believe the current law is a good one, and the town extends an open invitation to San Tan Valley residents who want to discuss incorporation.
