The bill proposes amendments to section 35-188 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, which pertains to state debts. The changes involve minor language modifications, specifically the replacement of the term "set-off" with "setoff" and the word "which" with "that." These alterations do not change the substantive meaning of the law, which dictates that no debt can be set against the state unless it has been presented to and allowed or disallowed by the director of the department of administration. Additionally, a debt may be allowed as a setoff if the defendant can prove to the court that they possess vouchers they could not present to the department due to reasons such as absence from the state, sickness, or unavoidable accident.
