The proposed bill would amend section 45-412 of the Arizona Revised Statutes by changing the authority of the director regarding the designation of subsequent active management areas. Under current law, the director "may" designate such areas, but the bill would change this to "shall," thereby making it a requirement for the director to designate areas not included in an initial active management area if certain conditions are met.

Additionally, the bill modifies the language regarding the director's periodic review of areas not included within an active management area. The current statute states that the director "shall periodically review all areas which are not included within an active management area," while the bill would replace "which" with "that," streamlining the language without altering the meaning. Overall, these changes aim to clarify the responsibilities of the director in managing active management areas.
