The proposed bill establishes the Obesity Treatment Study Committee to evaluate the costs, potential savings, effectiveness, health outcomes, and overall value of expanding coverage under the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (AHCCCS) to include comprehensive treatment for individuals living with obesity. The committee will consist of various members, including two senators and two representatives from different political parties, the Director of AHCCCS, representatives from patient advocacy organizations, medical societies, and a registered dietitian. The committee is tasked with conducting a comprehensive study, identifying additional resources or policy initiatives, and reviewing current practices to propose necessary revisions to improve health outcomes for those affected by obesity.

Additionally, the bill mandates that the Study Committee submit a report detailing its findings and recommendations by December 31, 2025, to key state officials, including the Governor and legislative leaders. The committee will not receive compensation for their service but will be reimbursed for expenses. The provisions of the bill will be repealed after September 30, 2026, ensuring a defined timeline for the committee's activities and reporting.
