SB1670 is a bill that allows the Arizona Department of Administration and the Department of Emergency and Military Affairs to create public-private partnerships for military rotary wing aviation training and services. The bill details the process for selecting private partners and requires that no state funds be used for these services unless there is a reimbursement agreement. It also includes oversight provisions and exempts these partnerships from certain prohibitions on state competition with private enterprise. The authorization for these partnerships will expire on October 1, 2026, but existing contracts will remain valid.

The proposed amendments to the Arizona Revised Statutes include eligibility requirements for private entities to demonstrate their capability to provide services without state funding and to manage aspects of the training program. The bill also ensures that the state does not share liabilities with private partners and that private partners are not exempt from state laws unless specified. The bill is an emergency measure and will become effective immediately upon the Governor's signature.
