Arizona's Proposition 100

Arizona’s Proposition 100, approved in 2004, authorizes a temporary one-cent sales tax increase for three years, primarily to fund public safety and crime prevention programs. The revenue generated is dedicated to local police, fire services, and emergency response efforts. The measure aims to improve community safety without raising property or income taxes, providing a dedicated funding source for critical public safety infrastructure during economic downturns. The tax sunset after three years unless renewed, ensuring taxpayer approval for continued funding beyond that period.
