This bill proposes to amend the Arizona Revised Statutes by adding a new section, 18-105, which specifically addresses software licensure for public agencies. Under the new law, contracts for software applications cannot restrict a public agency's ability to install or operate the software on hardware of their choice. This change aims to enhance the flexibility and autonomy of public agencies in managing their software resources.

Additionally, the bill defines "Public Agency" to include various entities such as the state, the Arizona Board of Regents, and local government subdivisions. The provisions of this act will apply to any contracts or addendums entered into after the effective date of the law, ensuring that the updated regulations are implemented moving forward.
