If enacted, this bill would update the current statutes by changing the name of the "Arizona Commission of African-American Affairs" to the "Arizona Office of African-American Affairs." This change would be reflected in the article heading of title 41, chapter 3, article 3, Arizona Revised Statutes, and throughout various sections where the term "commission" is currently used. Specifically, the bill would replace instances of "commission" with "office" in sections 41-531, 41-532, 41-533, and 41-534, thereby aligning the terminology with the new designation.

Additionally, the bill would make technical and conforming changes to ensure consistency across the statutes. These changes include adjustments to the structure and responsibilities of the office, such as the appointment of members, the election of a chairperson, and the requirement for the office to meet quarterly. The office would continue to assist and support state and federal agencies, provide annual reports, and facilitate an African-American legislative day, maintaining its core functions while adopting the new name.
