If this bill were to become law, it would transfer the authority of the State Broadband Office from the Arizona Commerce Authority (ACA) to the Arizona Department of Administration (ADOA). Specifically, the bill would amend the current statute by replacing references to the "authority" with "department" and changing the title of the position overseeing the office from "chief executive officer" of the ACA to "director of the department of administration." This shift aims to centralize the management of broadband initiatives under ADOA, which is expected to enhance coordination and execution of broadband programs.

Additionally, the bill includes technical changes to the existing language to reflect this transfer of authority. The State Broadband Office would continue to consist of a State Broadband Director, who would now report directly to the director of ADOA rather than the CEO of ACA. Overall, the bill seeks to streamline the governance of broadband efforts in Arizona while maintaining the office's core functions and responsibilities.
