absence; state elected officials

SB 1646 requires Arizona's governor to designate one of five specific elected officials (lieutenant governor, secretary of state, attorney general, state treasurer, or superintendent of public instruction) to stay at least 35 miles away from the state capital during major events like the governor's inauguration or State of the State address. The bill directly affects those five state officials by mandating their physical absence from the capital during these events. It establishes a Department of Public Safety protective detail to provide secure housing, transportation, communications, and a formal announcement identifying the official responsible for government continuity during the absence. The law focuses on logistical security arrangements for elected officials' absences, not policy changes or public impacts.
