Bill
SB 1121
Arizona bill gives county assessors power to use market-based or countywide comparisons to set limited property values for newly added or changed parcels.
Note on source materials and scope
- The provided document appears to aggregate text and procedural history from more than one "SB 1121" across jurisdictions and versions. The primary introduced text is an Arizona statutory amendment (amending Ariz. Rev. Stat. § 42‑13302) concerning property limited values. Also included is a Senate Floor Amendment (Senate Amendment 001) that would replace the bill text with Illinois provisions (adding an “emergency licensing” section to the Illinois Child Care Act), and a separate short technical change to the Illinois New Harmony Bridge Authority Act. Legislative actions shown correspond primarily to the Illinois legislative process and indicate final enactment. Because the materials are mixed, the summaries below treat each distinct provision separately.
Purpose and intent
- Modify how a parcel’s “limited property value” is determined when property is added, modified, split, consolidated, or has a change in use.
Key provisions
- Retains existing categories that trigger limited-value determinations: omitted property, objectively verifiable change in physical use, construction/destruction/demolition where modification ≥ 15% of full cash value, and splits/subdivisions/consolidations occurring Jan 1–Sept 30 (with special rules for government‑initiated actions).
- Adds a new subsection E directing the county assessor to establish the level/percentage of full cash value (for cases covered in subsection A) by using either:
1. All parcels in the county that are of the same or similar use/classification, or
2. Parcels in each “market” established by the county assessor that are of the same or similar use/classification.
Who is affected
- County assessors, property owners whose parcels are newly added or materially changed, and taxpayers in counties where assessors may adopt “market” segmentation.
Potential impact
- Gives county assessors explicit methodological authority to use countywide or market‑level comparable parcels when setting limited values, which may change how quickly and at what level limited values adjust after modifications/splits. Could yield more localized valuation outcomes if assessors adopt market-based comparisons.
Purpose and intent
- Provide emergency/temporary licensing flexibility to expand child care capacity in “child care deserts” by adjusting licensing requirements to reflect local labor market conditions.
Key provisions
- Legislative findings about child care deserts and workforce challenges.
- Directs Illinois Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) to adopt rules that adjust licensing requirements (including worker qualifications) for providers within census tracts defined as “child care deserts” (definition provided: tracts with >50 children under 5 and either no providers or >3 children per licensed slot).
- DCFS must submit proposed rules to the Joint Committee on Administrative Rules by December 31, 2025.
Who is affected
- DCFS, child care providers in designated “child care deserts,” parents in underserved areas, and local labor markets.
Potential impact
- Could expand local hiring flexibility and increase licensed child care capacity in underserved areas, subject to rules DCFS adopts and oversight by JCAR.
