This bill proposes to amend the Arizona Revised Statutes by adding a new section, 23-111, which mandates the Industrial Commission of Arizona and the Department of Economic Security to publish an annual report starting January 1, 2027. This report will list the top fifty employers in Arizona with the highest number of employees receiving Medicaid or other public assistance. The report will include specific details such as the employer's name and address, size, the number of employees and their dependents receiving assistance, the types of assistance, and potential costs to the state for these public welfare programs.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that the report must not disclose any confidential information, including the names of individuals or beneficiaries receiving public assistance. It also requires the Department of Economic Security to compile and provide all relevant data to the Industrial Commission of Arizona for this purpose. Overall, the bill aims to enhance transparency regarding the relationship between employment and public assistance in the state.
