The bill amends section 41-709 of the Arizona Revised Statutes to clarify the language regarding the acceptance of gifts and donations by state departments or agencies. Under current law, these entities may accept gifts and donations from various sources for the purpose of conducting employee recognition programs. The new bill language specifies that these gifts and donations are accepted "to conduct" employee recognition programs, rather than simply "for the conduct of" such programs.

Additionally, the bill maintains that all gifts and donations for employee recognition programs must still comply with the requirements outlined in title 35, chapter 1, article 3 and chapter 23 of the Arizona Revised Statutes. Overall, the changes are primarily focused on refining the wording for clarity without altering the underlying legal requirements.
