If enacted, this bill would amend Arizona Revised Statutes by adding a new section (41-117) that mandates the Governor to appear before the Legislature for questioning starting January 4, 2027. The questioning would occur on the third Wednesday of each month during the legislative session, with the Governor alternating appearances between the House of Representatives and the Senate. The Governor would be required to answer specific questions from legislative leaders and randomly selected members, as well as follow-up questions if requested.

Additionally, the bill allows the Lieutenant Governor to fulfill these duties if the Governor is unavailable, while ensuring that the new provisions do not infringe upon existing rights or privileges of the Legislature or the Governor. The bill also includes a legislative findings clause emphasizing the importance of regular exchanges between the legislative and executive branches to enhance civic engagement and political knowledge among the public.
