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 existing 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 language of the statute to reflect this transfer and renumbering of sections as necessary. The overall structure and responsibilities of the State Broadband Office, including the role of the State Broadband Director and the office's functions, would remain intact, ensuring continuity in the implementation of broadband policies and programs in Arizona.
