This bill proposes to update the current statutes by changing the name of the "Arizona Commission of African-American Affairs" to the "Arizona Office of African-American Affairs." The article heading of Title 41, Chapter 3, Article 3 will reflect this change, and all references to "commission" in the existing statutes will be replaced with "office." Additionally, the bill includes technical and conforming changes to ensure consistency throughout the statutes.

The bill maintains the structure and responsibilities of the current commission while updating the terminology. For instance, the office will still consist of the same members and maintain its duties, such as assisting state and federal agencies and facilitating an annual African-American legislative day. The provisions regarding the appointment of members, the election of a chairperson, and the establishment of an office fund will remain intact, with only the terminology being modified to reflect the new name.
