The Arizona Statewide Independent Living Council (SILC) is a federally mandated organization established under Title VII, Section 705 of the Rehabilitation Act Amendments of 1992. The Governor's Executive Order No. 98-10 documents the general provisions of the Arizona SILC.

The Governor of Arizona appoints twenty-one volunteer members for terms of three years to direct the not-for-profit organization objectives. These members make up the council for decision-making. The primary purpose of the council is to encourage and advocate independent living for Arizonans with disabilities throughout the state. The SILC office is centrally located in Phoenix, Arizona. At this location resides an executive director and support staff to accommodate the operational aspect of the organization.
