If this bill were to become law, it would update the definition of "Agency" in section 35-341 of the Arizona Revised Statutes. The current definition states that "Agency" means any state agency, school district, or office or agency established by either title 11 or a county board of supervisors. The bill proposes to change the term "established" to "authorized," thereby refining the language to clarify that an agency is one that is authorized rather than merely established.

This change aims to ensure that the definition encompasses a broader range of entities that may operate under the authority of state law, potentially enhancing the clarity and applicability of the statute. The bill does not introduce any additional provisions or fiscal impacts beyond this definitional change.
