Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs resends state agency director nominations to the state Senate after court ruling.
Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs agreed to resend nominations for state agency directors to the state Senate after a court battle ruled her actions in bypassing Senate confirmation as illegal. Hobbs had previously attempted to appoint her nominees as executive deputy directors. The new agreement allows nominees to serve for up to a year without Senate confirmation upon resending their names, and prevents Hobbs from being forced to cover the Senate's legal fees.
