This bill proposes several updates to current statutes regarding the composition and appointment processes of various committees in Arizona. Notably, it modifies the membership criteria by removing specific requirements for certain members, such as the necessity for a livestock auction market owner and a faculty member with expertise in agricultural and life sciences. Instead, it introduces new provisions for appointing three members by the president of the senate and seven members by the governor, all of whom must represent organizations promoting tea party principles. Additionally, the bill clarifies the terms of service for committee members, ensuring they serve staggered three-year terms.

Furthermore, the bill enhances confidentiality provisions related to the commission's proprietary strategies and military unit relocations, ensuring that sensitive information remains protected until a final decision is made by the federal government. It also revises the process for nominating candidates for the ombudsman-citizens aide position, allowing for a two-thirds vote for nomination rather than a simple majority. Overall, these changes aim to streamline the appointment process and enhance the operational effectiveness of the committees while ensuring the confidentiality of critical information.
