This bill proposes updates to section 23-318 of the Arizona Revised Statutes concerning the authority of wage boards. The current law allows the chairman of a wage board to administer oaths and issue subpoenas, which are effective as if issued from superior courts. The bill would replace the term "superior courts" with "court" in multiple instances, thereby simplifying the language and clarifying that the subpoenas are issued from the court without specifying the type.

Additionally, the bill modifies the enforcement of subpoenas by changing the phrasing from "superior court of the county in which the subpoena is issued" to "in the county in which the subpoena is issued." This change maintains the enforcement mechanism while streamlining the language. Overall, the bill aims to modernize and clarify the legal language surrounding wage board procedures without altering the substantive rights or responsibilities outlined in the current law.
