Introduced Version → House Engrossed Version (03/17/2026) · 3 edits · Mar 17, 2026

MINOR

The bill was reformatted to its final engrossed version, but the substantive policy changed significantly by expanding the Arizona-Sonora Trade Commission from a 4-member body to a 10-member body. The new structure requires appointments from both the majority and minority leaders of the Senate and House, ensuring bipartisan representation. Additionally, the bill's section numbering was corrected to reflect the proper legislative sequence.

Scope change

The scope of the commission's membership was expanded from four members to ten members, and the appointment process now explicitly includes minority party leaders to ensure bipartisan oversight.

ELIGIBILITY

Commission membership increased from four members to ten members, with five appointed by Senate leadership (three by the President, two by the Minority Leader) and five by House leadership (three by the Speaker, two by the Minority Leader).

TECHNICAL

Section numbering was corrected to fix a formatting error where Section 1 was labeled as 'Sec. 1.1' and subsequent sections had similar irregular numbering.

The bill header and title page were updated to reflect the 'House Engrossed Version' status and corrected the reference title formatting.
