The bill HB2428 seeks to continue the State Personnel Board (SPB) for an additional eight years, retroactively effective from July 1, 2024, until July 1, 2032. It also includes a provision for the SPB to terminate on January 1, 2033. The bill amends existing law by repealing section 41-3024.10 of the Arizona Revised Statutes and adding a new section that outlines the board's responsibilities, which include hearing and reviewing appeals related to personnel actions against state employees, such as dismissals, suspensions exceeding forty hours, and demotions due to disciplinary actions.

In contrast to current law, which may not specify the termination date or the retroactive application, this bill explicitly states the termination date for the SPB and clarifies its functions. The new language emphasizes the board's role in handling specific personnel appeals, thereby reinforcing its importance in state employment matters.
