This bill proposes several updates to current statutes regarding the Arizona Department of Gaming (ADG), the Arizona Racing Commission, and the Arizona State Boxing and Mixed Martial Arts Commission. Under the new provisions, the ADG and the Racing Commission would be continued until July 1, 2032, while the Boxing and MMA Commission would also be continued until the same date. The bill includes new requirements for conflict-of-interest disclosures for the directors and employees of these agencies, mandating that they complete a disclosure form upon appointment or hiring and submit annual updates if any information changes. Additionally, the ADG is required to create a complaint submission process and tracking system, and to report annually on complaints received and independent audit results related to event wagering.

The bill also repeals certain existing statutes related to the termination of these commissions, specifically sections 41-3026.04, 41-3026.13, and 41-3026.22, and establishes new provisions for the oversight and regulation of gaming, racing, and boxing activities in Arizona. The updates aim to enhance transparency and accountability within these regulatory bodies while ensuring their continued operation for the next several years.
