This bill proposes several updates to the Arizona Revised Statutes, specifically in title 36, chapter 29, article 1, by adding new sections 36-2903.18 and 36-2903.19. Key changes include the establishment of a data matching agreement with the Department of Revenue to identify members with lottery or gambling winnings of $3,000 or more, and a requirement for the administration to review death records and other eligibility-affecting information on a monthly basis. The bill also mandates that the administration must not accept self-attestation of various eligibility criteria without independent verification and must independently verify eligibility determinations from exchanges established under federal law.

Additionally, the bill outlines specific county contributions for the Arizona long-term care system and establishes standards for presumptive eligibility determinations by qualified hospitals. It includes provisions for reporting on mental health medication costs and utilization, as well as exclusions from county expenditure limitations for certain contributions. The bill also sets forth a timeline for the implementation of these changes, with the new sections becoming effective after December 31, 2026.
