budget unit; vacant positions; reporting

SB 1510 requires Arizona state agencies (budget units) to report vacant full-time equivalent positions that have been unfilled for over 150 days each year, with reports due October 1. Agencies must eliminate these vacant positions annually and adjust their allocated staffing levels accordingly. The bill excludes certain entities like the Department of Corrections, Department of Public Safety, and university systems from these requirements. The bill passed the legislature in April 2025 but was vetoed by the governor on May 2, 2025.
