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 would make technical changes to the language of the statute, ensuring that the responsibilities and structure of the State Broadband Office align with its new placement within ADOA. The overall intent is to streamline operations and improve the effectiveness of broadband deployment efforts across the state, while maintaining the core functions of the office as outlined in the current law.
