Bill > SB1115

This bill, titled "AHCCCS; remote work; prohibition," amends Arizona law to prohibit the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (AHCCCS) from allowing its employees to work remotely. AHCCCS is the state's Medicaid program, which provides healthcare coverage to eligible low-income individuals and families. The bill defines "work remotely" as an employee's primary worksite not being the agency's worksite, and the employee not being expected to regularly report to the agency's worksite on a consistent basis. This change is part of a broader reclassification of state agencies, with the chapter heading for title 41, chapter 57 of Arizona Revised Statutes being changed from "MISCELLANEOUS" to "STATE AGENCIES GENERALLY" to accommodate the new article specifically addressing AHCCCS.
