If this bill were to become law, it would update current statutes by continuing the Arizona Exposition and State Fair Board for an additional eight years, extending its termination date to July 1, 2033. The bill would repeal the existing statute that mandates the Board's termination on July 1, 2025, and would also include a provision that the Board will be repealed on January 1, 2034. This change aims to ensure the Board's ongoing operation and oversight of state fair activities.
Additionally, the bill would insert new language outlining the Board's responsibilities, which include maintaining the state fairgrounds and the Arizona Veterans Memorial Coliseum, directing state fairs and related events, and generating sufficient revenue to cover operational expenses. The provisions of the bill would take effect retroactively from July 1, 2025, ensuring continuity in the Board's functions and responsibilities.
