The proposed bill would amend section 46-457 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, updating the requirements for individuals and state agencies involved in filing actions related to adult protective services. Under the new law, individuals who file an action must submit a report to the attorney general within two years of the initial notice, indicating whether the action is ongoing, and provide the final disposition of the case within thirty days after the final action is taken. Similarly, state agencies that render administrative decisions or file civil actions must also submit reports on the final disposition of the case within the same timeframe.

Additionally, the bill introduces new provisions regarding the maintenance of a registry by the attorney general. If a report on the status and disposition of an action is not submitted, the attorney general is required to either update the registry if the status can be determined or delete the information if it cannot be ascertained. This change aims to ensure that the registry remains accurate and up-to-date, enhancing the effectiveness of adult protective services.
