The proposed bill seeks to update current statutes by eliminating specific membership requirements for various public bodies appointed by the Speaker of the House and the President of the Senate. Current requirements include stipulations such as being a livestock market owner for the Livestock Loss Board, representing private property interests for the Military Affairs Commission, and having expertise in economics for the Economic Estimates Commission. The bill would eliminate these and other similar qualifications across multiple boards and commissions, including the Arizona Tea Party Committee, Joint Legislative Audit Committee, and the Arizona Water Protection Fund Commission. Furthermore, the bill would remove requirements for appointees to represent certain demographics or interests, such as being a registered small business owner for the Ombudsman-Citizen Aide Selection Committee or residing in the district for the board of directors of a theme park district. These changes aim to simplify the appointment process, broaden the candidate pool for public service roles, and modernize the structure and function of various committees in Arizona.
