History
Election Systems Improvement Fund
The Help America Vote Act of 2002 established certain minimum standards for the administration of elections and created a program to provide funding to the states to implement these standards, improve voting systems and technology and improve the overall administration of elections. The Election Systems Improvement Fund (Fund) is administered by the Secretary of State and consists of federal monies and state matching monies. The monies in the Fund are used to implement the provisions of the Help America Vote Act of 2002 (52 USC § 20901, A.R.S. § 41-129).
Professional Employer Organizations
Laws 2005, Chapter 212 requires the registration of Professional Employer Organizations (PEOs) with the Secretary of State. A PEO is a company that provides certain human resource services to another organization as a third party by entering into a co-employment relationship. Prior legislation has delayed the implementation of the PEO program until June 30, 2023 (A.R.S. § 23-561 et. seq, Laws 2008, Ch. 291 § 9, Laws 2010, Ch. 313 § 16, Laws 2011, Ch. 343 § 9, Laws 2013, First Special Session, Ch. 2 § 9).
