Representative Gress, presenting the amendment, said the change mirrors federal law enacted in 2019 and allows state enforcement to apply consistently across definitions of tobacco and vapor products in Arizona statute. He and other supporters said adopting the change protects youth and helps the state remain eligible for federal substance‑abuse prevention funds.

During floor debate, Representative Gress cited a warning attributed to the state attorney general’s office that the state could risk losing federal prevention funding — a figure mentioned in debate as up to $5,000,000 — and referenced broader SAMHSA funds described in comment as nearly $50,000,000.

Opponents raised constitutional and policy objections. Representative Kupfer said he opposed the amendment because it would restrict 18‑year‑olds — including service members — from lawful tobacco purchases even though they are eligible for military service. Representative Collin argued the change was an example of federal funds influencing state policy and framed the move as inconsistent with other age‑based rights accorded at 18.

The House voted by division and then by standing/roll call where the Committee of the Whole gave SB 12 47 as amended a due‑pass recommendation with 33 ayes and 21 nays. An attempt later to amend the committee report to show the recommendation had failed was defeated on the floor (motion failed by recorded vote 36 nays, 20 ayes). SB 12 47 as amended was advanced for further action.

Supporters and opponents both referenced public health and civil‑rights considerations. The bill’s amendment drew broad endorsements from medical and cancer organizations in debate; opponents argued that adults age 18 should retain autonomy and that exemptions for active service members should be considered.","The Arizona House adopted an education committee amendment to set the state tobacco sales age at 21, aligning with federal law.

The amendment, offered by Representative Cruz, would have struck language requiring seniors to reapply every three years to retain a senior assessment protection. Cruz said the change would “protect seniors from clerical errors” and reduce workload for county assessor staff by eliminating the periodic reapplication requirement.

Supporters of the amendment argued it restored the intended relief for older homeowners who can face increased valuations when a renewal is missed. Opponents — and at least one county assessor whose concerns were reported to the House — said the amendment raised administrative and statutory issues that required further work with assessors and the bill sponsor.

Representative Cruz said he discussed the matter with “Senator Meznar and the county assessor for Maricopa County,” and that he had not heard opposition after sending the amendment to assessors. Representative Olson, presiding in committee, said the assessor had expressed concerns and that the amendment sponsor planned further outreach.

The House rejected the Cruz floor amendment. Members first failed a voice/division vote; a subsequent roll call recorded the motion’s defeat, with 26 ayes and 30 nays. The committee recommendation that SB 12 24 receive a due‑pass recommendation otherwise moved forward; the Committee of the Whole report was adopted and SB 12 24 was placed on third reading.

No final change to the bill text was adopted on the House floor during the March 27 session; the Cruz amendment was not added. The record shows the House will proceed to third reading of SB 12 24 where further action could occur.

The Tuesday proceedings included debate over statutory procedure and administrative impacts but did not produce a final vote on the underlying bill on third reading during the floor session covered here.","On March 27, 2025, the Arizona House moved Senate Bill 12 24 forward after members rejected a floor amendment that would have removed a statutory requirement for certain seniors to reapply for a property valuation protection every three years.","actionData","errors"]
