The proposed bill, if enacted, would amend current statutes regarding the nomination and confirmation of appointive officers in Arizona. Specifically, it would introduce a new provision stating that if the Senate rejects a nominee for a state agency director position, that individual would be ineligible for any other position within the same agency. This change aims to clarify the consequences of a rejection during the confirmation process and ensure that rejected nominees cannot be reappointed to different roles within the same agency.

Additionally, the bill would make several technical changes to the existing language, including updates to pronouns for clarity and consistency. The current statute's provisions regarding the nomination process, Senate consent, and the duties of nominees would remain largely unchanged, except for the new eligibility restriction for rejected nominees. Overall, the bill seeks to enhance the accountability of gubernatorial nominations while maintaining the existing framework for the nomination process.
