trade offices study committee

HB 2746 establishes a temporary legislative committee to study Arizona's state trade offices, which are operated under the Arizona Commerce Authority. The committee, composed of legislative leaders and appointed members, will review current operations, gather input from businesses and community stakeholders, and develop recommendations to improve these offices. It must submit its final report to the House Speaker by December 31, 2028, and will dissolve automatically on September 30, 2029. This bill does not change trade office funding or services but focuses on evaluating their effectiveness through a formal review process.
