2005 Arizona Revised Statutes - Revised Statutes §30-223  Scope of requisition; filing; hearings and notice

A. Requisitions may request approval of a bond issue comprehending an entire plan or system or for construction or acquisition of any single or joint project, section, station or other facility of any related electric system or plan proposed for ultimate integration and completion. Requisitions or documents and records in connection with any present or anticipated bond requisition may be filed simultaneously or serially. All pertinent records and documents shall be filed not less than ten days previous to the time set for the hearing. Prehearings respecting any particular document, feature, incidental matter or any separable part or portion of any requisition may be held by the board on ten days previous written notice unless waived in writing, when the holding of prehearings is deemed by the state certification board to be conducive to expediting final hearing, and a decision as to the issues presented may thereupon be rendered. Upon permission of the state certification board, any documents, records, exhibits or other papers may be amended and refiled at least ten days prior to the time set for final hearing.

B. Requisitions shall be filed with the secretary of the state certification board and the board chairman shall at the earliest practical date fix a time and place not less than twenty nor more than thirty days thereafter for a hearing upon the requisition. Notice of the time and place fixed for the hearing shall be published twice in some newspaper of general circulation in the state unless the requisition filed is anticipatory only and does not seek approval of any present proposed bond issue. Unless waived in writing, notice of the filing of preliminary or anticipatory requisitions shall be given by the authority to any qualified parties thereby directly involved, by registered mail, not less than ten days prior to any hearing thereon.

C. At the time and place fixed for the hearing, the state certification board shall proceed to an examination and determination of the matters and questions involved. Hearings may be recessed, adjourned or continued from time to time as the board may order.
