DCS; transfer; DES
SB 1492 amends Arizona law to redefine "Department of Child Safety" as the "Department of Economic Security," which is a necessary step for transferring administrative responsibilities between these agencies. This definition update ensures consistent legal references and supports the administrative transfer process without altering existing policies or services. The bill focuses solely on clarifying terminology to enable the structural change, making it a procedural step rather than a substantive policy shift.
