The proposed bill would introduce several new requirements for the Arizona Department of Education (ADE) regarding the review of statutory reporting requirements for public schools. Specifically, it mandates that ADE assess whether existing reporting requirements are expired, obsolete, or duplicative, both for public schools reporting to ADE and for ADE reporting to the legislature. This review must culminate in a report to the Speaker of the House and the President of the Senate by December 1, 2026, summarizing the findings and recommending legislative actions to consolidate, eliminate, or modify these reporting requirements.

Additionally, the bill includes a provision that would repeal the statutory reporting review requirement for ADE after June 30, 2029. It also clarifies what constitutes a "report to the legislature," ensuring that it encompasses all reports submitted to various legislative bodies. Overall, the bill aims to streamline reporting processes and reduce redundancy in educational reporting requirements.
