Bill > SB1701

This bill continues the Arizona exposition and state fair board until July 1, 2033, effectively extending the board's authorization to operate the state fairgrounds and Arizona veterans memorial coliseum. The bill repeals an existing section of law (41-3025.03) and adds a new section (41-3033.03) that formally sets the board's termination date and specifies that related legal provisions will be repealed on January 1, 2034. The bill outlines three primary purposes for the board: maintaining fairgrounds and the veterans memorial coliseum in good condition, directing state fairs and exhibits to promote state and county interests, and generating sufficient revenue to cover the operational expenses of these facilities. The provisions of the bill are designed to be retroactively effective from July 1, 2025, ensuring continuity of the board's operations and legal standing. This type of legislative action, known as a sunset extension, is a common practice to periodically review and reauthorize state agencies or boards to ensure their continued relevance and effectiveness.
