If this bill were to become law, it would amend current statutes by changing the deadline for the Arizona Department of Health Services (DHS) and the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (AHCCCS) to provide a conspicuous link on their public website home pages. The current deadline of February 1, 2022, would be updated to December 1, 2025. Additionally, the bill would require both agencies to provide this information, rather than just the DHS, thereby expanding the responsibility for disseminating information on support for pregnant women and adoption services.

The bill also specifies that the information must be easily comprehensible and available in both English and Spanish. This includes a list of public and private agencies that assist women during pregnancy and childbirth, along with their contact details. The changes aim to enhance accessibility to vital resources for pregnant women and families considering adoption, ensuring that the information is prominently featured on the relevant agency websites.
