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 currently signed and issued by the chairman and have the same effect as those from superior courts. The bill would replace the term "courts" with "court" to specify that these actions are under the jurisdiction of the superior court.

Additionally, the bill modifies the enforcement of subpoenas by changing the reference from "superior courts" to "superior court" in the context of obedience to subpoenas. It also clarifies that depositions of witnesses can be taken in accordance with the procedures for civil actions in the superior court, again replacing "courts" with "court." Overall, these changes aim to streamline the language and clarify the authority of the wage board within the legal framework.
