The proposed bill would amend section 5-604 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, specifically updating the language regarding the employment or financial interests of relatives of the director or employees of the Department of Gaming. Under current law, the employment or financial interest of any relative to the first degree of consanguinity or affinity to the director or any other employee of the department in the gambling industry in this state is grounds for the dismissal of the director or employee of the department.

If the bill becomes law, it would replace the phrase "the dismissal of" with "dismissing," thereby modifying the language to clarify the process for addressing conflicts of interest related to relatives of department employees. The core provision regarding the grounds for dismissal remains unchanged, ensuring that the intent of the statute is preserved while updating the wording for clarity.
