Legislative Update: Agency Reauthorization | |
|
As an agency of the State of Arizona, the Arizona Commission on the Arts must be periodically reviewed and reauthorized by the legislature. The agency is up for review in this year's legislative session and received an unanimous vote for continuation, at the current maximum of 8 years, from both the House and Senate Commerce Committees of Reference. Having passed that hurdle, the agency's reauthorization bill (HB 2051) is now moving through the legislative process.
Our friends at Arizona Citizens for the Arts recently shared information on this and how Arizonans can participate. Click here to read more!
