If enacted, this bill would amend current statutes by adding a new article to Title 41, Chapter 57 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, which would be titled "STATE AGENCIES GENERALLY." The chapter heading would be updated from "MISCELLANEOUS" to reflect this change. The new article would specifically address the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (AHCCCS), prohibiting it from allowing its employees to work remotely.
Additionally, the bill would define key terms related to this prohibition. It would clarify that "agency" refers to AHCCCS and that "work remotely" means that an employee's primary worksite is not at the agency's location and that the employee is not expected to regularly report to the agency's worksite. These changes would be inserted into the existing legal framework, thereby updating the statutes to reflect the new policy regarding remote work for AHCCCS employees.
