This bill proposes several updates to the Arizona Revised Statutes, specifically within title 41, chapter 49, by adding section 41-4902. The chapter heading will be changed from "FEDERAL MONIES" to "FEDERAL MONIES AND FEDERAL RULE IMPLEMENTATION." Each state agency will be required to create a dedicated webpage to post all guidance it creates or receives from federal agencies, particularly if such guidance influences the agency's interpretation or implementation of state laws or provides compliance recommendations.

Additionally, the bill mandates that state agencies include specific information when posting guidance, such as the full text, creation or receipt date, and a summary of the guidance's impact. Agencies must post this information within thirty days and address any confidential guidance by notifying the public of its existence and seeking clarification on disclosure. The bill also requires annual compliance reports to be submitted to legislative leaders starting December 31, 2026. Overall, these changes aim to enhance transparency and accountability in how state agencies handle federal guidance.
