If enacted, this bill would amend current statutes by adding a new section to Title 41, Chapter 49 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, which would be renamed from "FEDERAL MONIES" to "FEDERAL MONIES AND FEDERAL RULE IMPLEMENTATION." The bill mandates that each state agency create a dedicated webpage to post all guidance it generates or receives from federal agencies, specifically if such guidance influences the agency's interpretation or implementation of state laws or provides compliance instructions.

Additionally, the bill requires that the posted guidance includes the full text or an electronic copy, the date of creation or receipt, and a brief summary of its content and potential impact. Agencies must post this information within 30 days and, if any guidance is marked as confidential, they must indicate its existence and seek clarification on disclosure. The bill also stipulates that agencies must submit an annual report on their compliance with these requirements starting December 31, 2026. Overall, the bill aims to enhance transparency regarding state agency guidance related to federal regulations.
