This matters because it would likely attract companies to Arizona to avoid Apple and Google's hefty fees.@DHH of Basecamp is already saying they'll move there if it passes.

The bill needs just 16 senate votes and the governor's signature to become law.https://t.co/BjbBoj9Nq0
Pretty astounding outcome. Arizona House just advanced HB2005, the bill forcing Apple and Google to allow alternative payment systems. It’s on its way to the state senate. https://t.co/YYy3uF1xvc

Basecamp co-founder & CTO (maker of the Hey email app) says HB2005 advancing in the AZ House has them fully considering relocating the business to Arizona. That would be wild. https://t.co/ZX3EpIOShY

Yes, the bill still has to go through the senate, but with the incredible momentum and awareness that @recobbforazrep has built for this cause, I’d expect it to pass. And we want to be ready on day one to take full advantage.

Today’s incredible win in the Arizona House for @recobbforazrep on her app store bill is the biggest win for tech antitrust in 20 years. https://t.co/AXAeZ5CEhY

The Arizona House just passed a bill that would be very bad news for Apple and Google.

It'd prevent them from forcing apps in the state to use their payment systems, meaning they could evade the tech giants' up to 30% commissions.https://t.co/8GRFPnYO53
We are going to prepare app updates for both Android and iOS that give Arizonans the right to signup for service using our normal payment processing setup. Then start the conversation with lawyers on what it’ll take to relocate Basecamp to Arizona. This means everything.

(アプリ企業が独自決済を使用可能とする法案)
スマホストアの課金制度にヒビが入るかもしれない。GA州やMN州でも同様の法案を検討中。

ノースダコタでは否決になったけど、アリゾナの下院で似たような法案が可決に。まだ上院を通して州知事が署名しないとダメだから制定になるかはわからないけど。https://t.co/afTZHnvfSr https://t.co/h6gsKOXmyb

I feel like Arizona's vote yesterday didn't get the attention it deserved. Republicans voted overwhelmingly for anti-monopoly legislation targeting Apple, Democrats overwhelmingly opposed it. https://t.co/g6XvAmv5kU pic.twitter.com/cusWtSWbiY

In 2016, I ran for 3rd District County Supervisor in Santa Barbara (and lost). I've been told (after) that, had I run for California State Assembly District 37, I might've had institutional support! Some days, I dream about the bills I could've floated ;P. https://t.co/kvHB4IZVzC

In a bizarre turn of events, Arizona Democrats were the main force opposing the legislation while Republicans accused Apple and Google of acting like monopolies.

We'll see how the partisan politics play out in the AZ Senate.

Arizona lawmakers are moving a bill that'd require Apple and Google to allow Android and iOS app developers to use their own billing methods without sharing a cut with the App Store and Google Play. It passed the state house and moves to the senate next. https://t.co/pmISmFmYoG
