This bill proposes updates to the Arizona Revised Statutes by adding a new section, 36-2929.01, which mandates that the administration must determine the continued eligibility of adults aged twenty-one and older for the Arizona health care cost containment system at least every six months, starting January 1, 2027. The eligibility verification will utilize available data, ensuring a more efficient process.

Additionally, the bill requires the administration to submit an annual report by December 1 each year to various legislative leaders and committees. This report will include data on the number of new eligibility applications received, the number of eligibility verifications completed, the number of applications requiring asset verification, and the number of asset verifications completed in the previous contract year. These updates aim to enhance transparency and accountability within the health care system.
