The proposed bill establishes the Obesity Treatment Study Committee, which aims to evaluate the cost, effectiveness, 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, the Director of the Department of Health Services, representatives from patient advocacy organizations, and medical professionals with experience in obesity treatment. The committee will be responsible for conducting a comprehensive study, identifying additional resources or policy initiatives, and reviewing current policies to improve health outcomes for those affected by obesity.

Additionally, the bill outlines that the committee will meet at the discretion of the co-chairpersons and that members will not receive compensation but can be reimbursed for expenses. A report detailing the committee's activities, findings, and recommendations must be submitted to key state officials by December 31, 2025. The section establishing the committee will be repealed after September 30, 2026, and the bill will take effect on the general effective date.
