This bill proposes several updates to the Arizona Revised Statutes, specifically amending section 41-192 related to the attorney general's responsibilities. Notably, it replaces the pronoun "his" with "the attorney general" in multiple instances to clarify the subject. Additionally, it introduces a new requirement for the establishment of an open meetings enforcement team within the attorney general's office, which will address complaints regarding violations of open meeting laws and provide quarterly reports on its activities.

Furthermore, the bill modifies the language regarding financial transactions related to legal services. It specifies that departments or agencies authorized to maintain a legal division must pay into the state general fund for legal services rendered, while also clarifying that appropriations for these services are not subject to lapsing provisions. The bill also updates the reporting requirements for the attorney general concerning settlements and compromises, ensuring transparency in financial dealings with the state treasury.
