If enacted, this bill would update current statutes by continuing the Arizona Exposition and State Fair Board for an additional eight years, extending its termination date to July 1, 2033. The bill would repeal the existing statute that mandates the Board's termination on July 1, 2025, and replace it with new provisions that outline the Board's responsibilities, including maintaining state fairgrounds and generating revenue to cover operating expenses. Additionally, the bill would require legislative committees to meet by January 1, 2029, to review the Board's compliance with the Auditor General's recommendations, with this requirement set to expire on December 31, 2029.

The bill also includes a retroactive provision, making the new effective dates applicable from July 1, 2025. It would repeal the existing section 41-3025.03 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, which currently governs the Board's operations, and introduce new language that clarifies the Board's ongoing duties and the timeline for legislative oversight. Overall, the bill aims to ensure the continued operation and oversight of the Arizona Exposition and State Fair Board while updating the legal framework governing its activities.
