SB1625 is a bill that amends sections of the Arizona Revised Statutes related to the Department of Child Safety (DCS). The bill mandates that the Director of DCS must take administrative action to improve the efficiency of the department, changing the language from "may take" to "requires to take" such action. This change emphasizes the obligation of the Director to enhance the department's efficiency.

The bill also includes a series of renumbering of the subsections within the statutes to accommodate the new mandate. It makes technical and conforming changes to the existing law, ensuring that the duties and powers of the Director and the department are updated to reflect the new requirement. The bill is set to become effective on the general effective date, with no anticipated fiscal impact to the state General Fund.
