State lawmakers will consider legislation to extend a Maricopa County transportation half-cent sales tax when they return to the Capitol on Monday.
The House is scheduled to move a bill that would extend the tax, Proposition 400. A House Rules Committee agenda was posted Friday afternoon and the House is set to modify it during floor session later that day.
Senate President Warren Petersen, R-Gilbert, said Friday afternoon that Gov. Katie Hobbs and legislative leaders still haven’t come to an agreement.
House Speaker Ben Toma said the House put the legislation on the calendar so they can vote if a final deal is reached and the votes are there.
“Either way, we will sine die on Monday,” Toma said.
Before adjourning for more than a month, Republican lawmakers sent a Prop 400 proposal to Hobbs that passed on party lines as the bill would have split light rail funding into a separate question on the ballot for Maricopa County voters.
