^* House Bill No. 2019 was originally introduced to make technical changes related to state personnel administration. A "Strike everything amendment" was adopted that changed the subject of the legislation entirely. Instead of changes regarding state personnel administration, House Bill No. 2019 now promotes an official nickname, "The Grand Canyon State," for the State of Arizona.
