This bill proposes several updates to current statutes regarding the submission and posting of federal agency guidance by state agencies in Arizona. Specifically, it introduces a new section to title 41, chapter 49 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, which will now be titled "FEDERAL MONIES AND FEDERAL RULE IMPLEMENTATION." The bill mandates that each state agency must submit any guidance, interpretations, and directives received from federal agencies concerning the implementation of federal rules to key legislative leaders within thirty days of receipt. This includes the President of the Senate, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, and the chairpersons of the respective government committees.

Additionally, the bill requires that all such guidance, interpretations, and directives be posted on the agency's website, enhancing transparency and accessibility. The language specifying that the guidance must come from a "relevant" federal agency has been removed, broadening the scope of the requirements. Overall, these changes aim to improve communication between state agencies and the legislature regarding federal regulations and their implementation.
