The bill HB2172 seeks to continue the Arizona State Board for Charter Schools (ASBCS) until July 1, 2032, and repeals the ASBCS on January 1, 2033. The ASBCS, established in 1998, is responsible for supervising charter schools sponsored by the state, granting charter status to applicants, and recommending legislation related to charter schools. The bill includes a retroactive provision that applies from July 1, 2024.

The proposed changes involve repealing section 41-3024.15 of the Arizona Revised Statutes and adding section 41-3032.01, which outlines the termination of the ASBCS and the repeal of relevant sections by the specified dates. The bill also includes a purpose statement for the continuation of the ASBCS, which includes granting charter status and exercising supervision over state-sponsored charter schools.
