The Arizona House of Representatives gave initial approval on Monday to a bill that would require the state to reimburse the city of Glendale for some public safety expenses following next year’s Super Bowl.
House Bill 2547 would require the state to reimburse Arizona cities for up to $2 million of public safety costs for hosting major events. The House gave initial approval to the bill by Rep. David Gowan, R-Sierra Vista, but must still cast a roll-call vote on it before it moves to the Senate. Legislators did not debate the bill on Monday but some have expressed concern about it.
The 2015 Super Bowl will be played in the University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale.
