Election and term of office

edit

The state treasurer is one of six statewide elected officials and serves a term of four years. A person may only serve as state treasurer for two consecutive terms.

Powers and duties

edit

The state treasurer is the chief banker and investment officer for the state of Arizona. In this capacity, the state treasurer receives payments made to the state, accounts for and manages the state's cash flows, provides banking services to state agencies, directs and administers the investment of the state's approximately $95.9 billion portfolio, and disburses public monies in payment of warrants drawn by the General Accounting Office, Arizona's comptroller.[1][2][3][a]

Functional responsibilities aside, the state treasurer is ex officio chairperson of the Board of Investment and a member of both the State Selection Board and the Board of Loan Commissioners.[7][8][9] These bodies prescribe investment policies for the state investment portfolio, select or cause for the withdrawal and survey of trust lands granted to Arizona by Congress, and manage state indebtedness, respectively. The state treasurer is also third (after the secretary of state and attorney general) in the line of succession to the office of governor of Arizona.[10]

Notes

edit
  1. ^ Assets under management include the working capital of the state of Arizona’s governmental and proprietary funds along with agency-specific trust funds, the permanent land endowment fund, Arizona’s tax-advantaged college savings plan, and the local government investment pool.[4][5] However, the state treasurer does not invest state pensions; fiduciary responsibility for that fund instead rests with the Arizona State Retirement System, an independent state agency which administers pensions for state and local government employees plus public school teachers.[6]
