Bill > HB2754

This bill amends several sections of Arizona Revised Statutes related to the Arizona Commerce Authority (ACA), a state agency focused on economic growth and job creation. Primarily, it expands the non-voting ex officio members of the ACA's board of directors to include the chairpersons and ranking minority party members of the Senate Finance Committee and the House of Representatives International Trade Committee, or their designees, to enhance legislative input. The bill also clarifies that the ACA can establish and operate offices in other states and foreign countries for trade promotion only if legislative appropriations are made specifically for that purpose and requires an annual report on these trade office activities. Additionally, it extends the termination date for the Arizona Competes Fund program from July 1, 2026, to July 1, 2030, and makes this extension retroactive to July 1, 2026.
