If enacted, this bill would amend current statutes by adding a new section to title 41, chapter 49 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, specifically addressing the submission and posting of federal agency guidance, interpretations, and directives. The chapter heading would be updated from "FEDERAL MONIES" to "FEDERAL MONIES AND FEDERAL RULE IMPLEMENTATION," reflecting the expanded focus of the legislation. Each state agency would be required to submit any relevant guidance from federal agencies to key legislative leaders within thirty days of receipt, ensuring timely communication of federal directives.
Additionally, the bill mandates that all guidance, interpretations, and directives received by state agencies must be posted on the respective agency's website. This requirement aims to enhance transparency and accessibility of federal guidance to the public and stakeholders. The bill removes the previous specification that such guidance must come from a "relevant" federal agency, broadening the scope of what must be reported and posted.
