AZ SB1531

Amends Arizona law to change appointment of state parks board members from selection by the board to appointment by the governor pursuant to section 38-211, with members serving at the pleasure of the governor.

Changes board member appointment terms from staggered initial terms (ranging from 1-5 years) to uniform six-year terms, with vacancy appointments filling the remainder of the term.

Transfers authority to appoint the director from the board to the governor, with the director serving at the pleasure of the governor rather than the board.

Maintains qualifications for director including business or government administration experience and knowledge of multiple use of lands and conservation of natural resources.

Preserves the board's composition of seven members including the state land commissioner and appointive members representing livestock industry and recreation interests.
