The bill HB2210 modifies the Arizona Commerce Authority (ACA) by extending its existence until July 1, 2029, with a repeal date of January 1, 2030, while also continuing other state agencies like the Arizona Department of Administration until July 1, 2030. Key changes include the requirement for the ACA to appoint an attorney with constitutional litigation experience to its board, maintain public records of meetings, and submit annual reports on job creation and economic impact. Additionally, the bill restricts the use of state funds for certain business attraction expenses and establishes a Municipality Time Frames Advisory Committee to provide recommendations on municipal support for economic development projects.

The bill also introduces new definitions for "direct jobs," "indirect jobs," and "induced jobs," clarifying employment types related to business operations. It mandates the ACA's CEO to provide quarterly reports to legislative leaders on agreements under the Arizona Competes Fund and track their status. Significant deletions from current law include the repeal of sections related to the authority's previous operations and the establishment of stricter accountability measures for the ACA's financial practices. Overall, the bill aims to enhance transparency and accountability in the ACA's operations while promoting economic development in Arizona.
