The proposed bill amends section 32-1104 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, which pertains to the responsibilities of the registrar of contractors. The bill introduces changes to the current law, including the requirement for the registrar to maintain an office in Phoenix and other necessary locations within the state, as well as keeping a complete indexed record of all contractor licenses for at least seven years. It also updates the language to standardize the spelling of "canceled" and clarifies the language regarding the provision of certified copies or affidavits as evidence.

Additionally, the bill allows the registrar to investigate complaints against licensees and hold proceedings or hearings to enforce the chapter, even if local authorities have already approved the construction plans related to the complaint. This new provision grants the registrar more authority to act independently of city, town, or county decisions. Other minor changes include grammatical updates and the clarification of terms for better understanding.
