The proposed bill would amend section 9-418 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, specifically updating the timeline and content of reports made by library trustees to the governing body of the city or town. Currently, the trustees are required to submit their report on the first Monday of July each year; the bill would change this deadline to the second Monday of July. Additionally, the language regarding the inclusion of statistics and information in the report would be modified to specify that any other statistics, information, and suggestions that may be of general interest should be included, rather than the previous phrasing.

Furthermore, the bill would streamline the financial reporting requirements by removing the phrase "showing all receipts and disbursements of money" and the requirement for the report to be made by the secretary of the board of trustees. Instead, it would simply state that a financial report must be verified by oath, thereby simplifying the reporting process while maintaining accountability.
