If this bill were to become law, it would introduce a new concurrent memorial urging the President of the United States and the Administrator of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to consider relocating Arizona from its current EPA Region 9 to another region or to move the regional office to Arizona. This insertion emphasizes the need for a more localized approach to environmental management in Arizona, addressing the challenges faced by state stakeholders in dealing with the distant San Francisco office.

Additionally, the bill would remove specific references to the Maricopa Association of Governments, the Maricopa County Air Quality Department, and the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) from the current statute, which highlights the difficulties experienced by these entities in their interactions with the EPA. This deletion streamlines the language while maintaining the focus on the broader issue of regional representation and responsiveness from the EPA.
