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 or their designee, and representatives from patient advocacy organizations and medical societies, as well as a registered dietitian. The committee will be responsible for conducting a comprehensive study, identifying additional resources or policy initiatives, and reviewing current policies to propose revisions aimed at improving health outcomes for those affected by obesity.

Additionally, the bill outlines that the committee will meet at the call of the co-chairpersons, and while members will not receive compensation, they will be eligible for reimbursement of expenses. A report detailing the committee's activities, findings, and recommendations must be submitted to the Governor and legislative leaders by December 31, 2025. The section establishing the committee will be repealed after September 30, 2026, if the bill becomes law.
