ADOA; continuation
Purpose
Continues the Arizona Department of Administration (ADOA) for four years.
Background
Established in 1972, the ADOA is charged with providing centralized administrative
services for the State of Arizona. The direction, operation and control of the ADOA is the
responsibility of the Director who is appointed by the Governor with the advice and consent of the
Senate and serves at the pleasure of the Governor. The Director may establish, abolish or
reorganize the positions or organizational units within the ADOA, subject to legislative
appropriation, if in the Director's judgment such modification of organization would make the
operation of the ADOA more efficient, effective or economical. A deputy director and assistant
directors of each agency division must be appointed by the Director with approval from the
Governor.
Duties of the ADOA include: 1) administering health, life and other forms of insurance
coverage for eligible individuals including state employees, retirees and their dependents;
2) providing state government IT services; and 3) establishing and providing risk management
services. The ADOA is also responsible for: 1) administering the State Personnel System;
2) managing the statewide accounting system; and 3) serving as the state's central procurement
authority. The Director or the authorized representative is the general accountant of the state and
keeper of public account books, vouchers and other documentation relating to accounts and
contracts of the state. The ADOA is charged with the management of state buildings including
state-owned properties and public school district facilities. The management of state buildings
consists of building maintenance, the allocation of space, operation, alteration, renovation and
security of the statutorily prescribed list of state buildings (A.R.S. Title 41, Chapter 4).
