The proposed bill, if enacted, would amend current statutes regarding the reporting requirements for the Arizona Department of Administration (ADOA) concerning budget units. Specifically, it would require ADOA to collect and include in its annual report a list of all full-time equivalent (FTE) positions that have been vacant for at least 150 days. This addition aims to enhance transparency regarding staffing levels within state agencies.

Furthermore, the bill mandates that each budget unit must eliminate any FTE positions that have been vacant for more than 150 days, overriding any conflicting laws. The allocated FTE positions for each budget unit would then be adjusted to reflect these eliminations. The definition of "budget unit" would also be clarified to include various state agencies while explicitly excluding the Arizona Department of Corrections, the Department of Public Safety, the Arizona Board of Regents, and community colleges.
