SB1731 is a budget reconciliation bill that makes necessary statutory and session law changes to implement the FY 2024 state budget for the Secretary of State (SOS) in Arizona. The bill includes three main provisions: it delays the implementation of professional employer organization registration requirements from July 1, 2023, to July 1, 2024; it adds the Governor's Office of Strategic Planning and Budgeting as a recipient of the SOS's annual total expenditure plan summary for the Election Systems Improvement Fund; and it specifies that the bill becomes effective on the general effective date, with a retroactive provision as noted.

The bill amends section 41-129 of the Arizona Revised Statutes and Laws 2008, chapter 291, section 9, as amended by subsequent laws. It changes the current law by extending the deadline for implementing professional employer organization registration requirements by one year and by requiring the SOS to also submit the expenditure plan summary to the Governor's Office of Strategic Planning and Budgeting, in addition to the joint legislative budget committee. The bill applies retroactively to July 1, 2023.
