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 be amended accordingly. Additionally, the bill will replace instances of the term "commission" with "office" throughout the relevant sections, including the establishment of the office, its membership, and its operational guidelines.

The bill also includes technical and conforming changes to ensure consistency with the new terminology. For example, it specifies that the office will consist of various state officials and appointed members, who will serve without compensation, and outlines the office's responsibilities, such as assisting state and federal agencies and facilitating an annual African-American legislative day. The provisions regarding the office's fund management and reporting requirements will also be updated to reflect the new name.
