The proposed bill would update current statutes by removing specific membership requirements for various public bodies, thereby broadening the eligibility for appointments. It would eliminate the necessity for members of the Livestock Loss Board to be livestock market owners and for members appointed by the President of the Senate to have expertise in agricultural and life sciences. Additionally, it would remove the requirement for members of the Military Affairs Commission to represent private property interests and for members of the Arizona Tea Party Committee to meet certain organizational and demographic criteria. The bill also removes qualifications for members of the Economic Estimates Commission, Joint Legislative Audit Committee, and Ombudsman-Citizen Aide Selection Committee regarding their understanding of economics and legislative audit oversight. Moreover, the bill would eliminate the requirement for members of the Arizona Commerce Authority Board of Directors to be chief executive officers or from geographically diverse areas, and for members of the Arizona Water Protection Fund Commission to have a demonstrated interest in natural resources. It aims to streamline the appointment process by broadening the pool of potential appointees and enhancing confidentiality regarding military operations. The bill also clarifies the appointment process for the Joint Legislative Audit Committee to ensure political diversity among its members. Overall, these changes are intended to simplify the qualifications for committee members while focusing on military preparedness and resource conservation.
