HB 2031 Arizona House · 57th Legislature - First Regular Session

boards and commissions; repeal

HB 2031 is a procedural bill that amends Arizona's Department of Agriculture organizational structure (sections 3-102, 3-107, and 3-108 of the Arizona Revised Statutes) but does not repeal any provisions as its title suggests. It modifies the department's division responsibilities (e.g., animal services, pest management), director powers (e.g., reporting, contracting), and administrative fund rules. The bill does not directly affect citizens or businesses but changes internal agency operations. The title "repeal" is misleading - the bill amends existing statutes rather than eliminating them. The bill failed in committee on February 26, 2025.
