The bill HB2845 proposes to amend the staffing structure of the Administrative Rules Oversight Committee (AROC) by replacing the Legislative Council with the directors of research staff from the Arizona State Senate and House of Representatives, or their designees. This change aims to streamline the committee's operations by utilizing the expertise of legislative research staff rather than relying on the Legislative Council.

Additionally, the bill maintains the current composition of the committee, which includes five members from the House and five from the Senate, each appointed by their respective leaders, with restrictions on political party representation. The designated co-chairpersons for the committee will continue to be appointed by the Speaker of the House and the President of the Senate. Overall, the primary difference from current law is the shift in staffing responsibility to legislative research directors.
