HB2429 is a legislative bill that proposes to continue the Governor's Office on Tribal Relations (GOTR) in Arizona until July 1, 2032, and sets a repeal date for the GOTR on January 1, 2033. The GOTR was established in 1953 and was renamed from the Commission of Indian Affairs in 2016 to enhance government-to-government relations with the 22 tribal nations within Arizona.

The bill includes the repeal of section 41-3024.23 of the Arizona Revised Statutes and the addition of section 41-3032.01, which outlines the purpose of the GOTR. It also specifies that the provisions of the act apply retroactively from July 1, 2024. The bill aims to support tribal communities and nations within the state and to continue fostering collaborative relationships between the state and tribal governments.
