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 the ADOA, which would now be responsible for hiring staff and overseeing the office's functions.

Additionally, the bill includes technical changes to the existing language to reflect this transfer of authority. The overall structure and responsibilities of the State Broadband Office, as outlined in the current law, would remain intact, but the administrative oversight would be realigned under the ADOA. The bill is designed to streamline operations and enhance the effectiveness of broadband program implementation in Arizona.
