Bill overview
This bill amends Arizona Revised Statutes to strengthen the Attorney General's role in enforcing open meetings laws. Specifically, it establishes an open meetings enforcement team within the Attorney General’s office to investigate complaints, requiring quarterly reports on their activities. The bill also clarifies the Attorney General’s authority to contract with other plaintiffs in legal actions and to oversee legal services provided to state agencies, with exceptions for certain specialized divisions. Furthermore, it outlines procedures for handling conflicts of interest and managing legal fees associated with these services.
