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 stating that obedience to subpoenas issued by the wage board shall be enforced in the court of the county where the subpoena is issued, rather than specifying "superior court." It also updates the language regarding the taking of depositions, changing "superior courts" to "court." Overall, these changes aim to streamline the legal language and clarify the jurisdictional references within the statute.
