The proposed bill seeks to amend Section 11-144 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, which pertains to the process of county formation. The current law outlines the responsibilities of a commission to resolve disagreements after the formation of new counties, specifically regarding the affairs of the affected counties, community colleges, school districts, and special taxing districts, as well as actions of the distribution board. The commission has the authority to hear disputes, render opinions, and issue orders, which have legal effects similar to an attorney general opinion.

The new bill language introduces a minor change, adding the word "districts" after "community college" to clarify that the commission's responsibilities include resolving disagreements involving community college districts. This amendment does not alter the fundamental processes or authorities established by the current law but rather provides a small clarification to the entities involved in the post-formation resolution process.
