Votes at a glance: Arizona House advances dozens of bills; one notable measure fails

The Arizona House completed a full floor session on March 5, 2026, approving a large group of bills and sending them to the Senate while one measure failed and an attempt to reconsider it did not prevail.

The chamber recorded roll‑call outcomes on a series of third‑reading measures. Among the bills the House passed were: HB 20‑41 (relating to child neglect; recorded vote 48 ayes, 0 nays, 11 not voting, 1 vacant), HB 21‑28 (property statutes; 49‑0), HB 22‑51 (midwifery statute updates; 42 ayes, 8 nays, 9 not voting, 1 vacant), HB 23‑42 (planned communities; 45 ayes, 5 nays, 9 not voting, 1 vacant), HB 24‑02 (emergency medical services; 43‑7), HB 24‑03 (appropriating funds to AHCCCS; 41‑9), HB 26‑41 (firefighting foam; 50‑0), HB 26‑73 (incarcerated persons/mental health; 45‑5), HB 2,700 (technology study committee; 36‑14), HB 29‑51 (consumer subscription protections; 50‑0), and HB 29‑91 (minors’ access to technology content; 44‑6). Several other committee‑reported bills were recommended for passage or retained on the calendar by committee action.

One measure did not pass: HB 40‑18 (amending statutes related to county officers) failed on third reading (recorded 26 ayes, 24 nays, 9 not voting, 1 vacant). Representative Teresa Martinez moved to reconsider the bill later in the day; a motion to overturn the chair’s ruling on whether a division had been called failed on a roll call (27 nays, 23 ayes, 9 not voting, 1 vacant), so the reconsideration did not succeed.

What this means: the House majority advanced a large number of bills to the Senate in a single floor session, including public‑safety, health, property and consumer measures. The failed bill and the unsuccessful reconsideration illustrate that procedural maneuvers are still available but not assured to change outcomes once a bill fails.
