This bill proposes updates to Arizona Revised Statutes sections 11-251.17 and 11-441, specifically regarding the use of county seals, logos, insignias, and other identifiers. The current law allows individuals to use these identifiers only with the approval of the county's board of supervisors, but the bill expands this to include approval from the elected official in control of the county office. Additionally, it clarifies that the identifiers can be used for advertising or promoting purposes, which was previously restricted to county departments only. The bill also allows the board of supervisors to establish rules for the use of these identifiers for official county business.

Furthermore, the bill introduces a new provision granting the sheriff exclusive rights to name and dissolve any posse associated with the sheriff's office. This addition emphasizes the sheriff's authority over such groups, which was not explicitly stated in the current law. Overall, the bill modernizes the statutes by broadening the scope of approval for using county identifiers and clarifying the sheriff's jurisdiction over posses.
