If this bill were to become law, it would amend current statutes regarding the review of Department of Child Safety (DCS) information by legislators. Specifically, it would allow legislators to review DCS information at a secure location within a legislative chamber, in addition to the existing option of reviewing it at a DCS office. This change would be reflected in the updated language of section 8-807 of the Arizona Revised Statutes.

The current law requires DCS to arrange for legislators to review files at a DCS office chosen by the legislator within ten working days of a request. The proposed bill would modify this requirement by inserting the option for review at a secure location within a legislative chamber, thereby enhancing access for legislators while maintaining the ten-day timeframe for review.
