This bill proposes to amend section 41-2958 of the Arizona Revised Statutes to require the Joint Legislative Audit Committee (JLAC) to conduct a review of the Department of Law and the Attorney General's office at least every ten years, with the first review mandated by July 1, 2027. The review will encompass the programs, activities, and funds administered, prescribed, or overseen by these entities. This addition is a significant update to the current law, which outlines reviews for other agencies but does not include the Department of Law or the Attorney General's office.

Additionally, the bill makes technical changes to the existing language, removing specific deadlines for previous agency reviews and replacing them with a more general requirement for JLAC to conduct reviews every ten years. The current statute's language regarding the schedule for reviews is also streamlined, eliminating outdated deadlines while ensuring that the new review requirement for the Department of Law and the Attorney General's office is clearly articulated.
