technical correction; workers' compensation; investigation

This bill (HB 2329) makes a technical correction to Arizona’s workers’ compensation law by clarifying that agents appointed to investigate workplace claims must be Arizona residents. It directly affects workers’ compensation investigators and the Arizona Industrial Commission, which oversees these investigations. The amendment updates Section 23-928 to specify that appointed agents must be state residents (replacing unclear language about "this state"), while keeping all investigative procedures and the advisory nature of agent recommendations unchanged. No new policy or authority is created - only the wording is corrected for clarity.
