The proposed bill establishes the Obesity Treatment Study Committee to evaluate the cost, potential savings, effectiveness, health outcomes, and 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 policies to improve health outcomes for those living with obesity.

Additionally, the bill mandates that the Study Committee submit a report detailing its findings and recommendations by December 31, 2025, and it specifies that the committee will be repealed after September 30, 2026. Members of the committee will not receive compensation but can be reimbursed for expenses. The bill also includes amendments that expand the committee's focus to include potential savings and health outcomes related to the proposed coverage expansion.
