The proposed bill, HB2289, amends section 15-253 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, which pertains to the dissemination of attorney general opinions related to school matters. Under current law, the attorney general is required to furnish copies of these opinions to various stakeholders, including county attorneys and county school superintendents, upon request. The new bill language expands this requirement by explicitly stating that the attorney general must also provide copies of opinions to the superintendent of public instruction.

Additionally, the bill introduces a provision that if the attorney general revises a county attorney's opinion, that revised opinion will take precedence over the original county attorney's opinion. This change clarifies the hierarchy of legal opinions regarding school matters and ensures that the attorney general's revised opinions are recognized as authoritative.
