The bill proposes amendments to section 23-313 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, which pertains to employment practices. The current law mandates that the commission must investigate the wages paid to minors in any occupation upon the petition of twenty or more state residents engaged in that occupation. The investigation determines if minors are receiving oppressive and unreasonable wages as defined in section 23-311. If the commission believes that a substantial number of minors are underpaid, it is required to appoint a wage board to recommend minimum fair wage rates for minors.

The changes in the bill involve minor language adjustments, replacing the plural "are" with the singular "is" in two instances. This suggests a shift to ensure the language is grammatically consistent with the singular noun "number." The rest of the section remains unchanged, maintaining the commission's responsibility to investigate wages and appoint a wage board when necessary.
