Bill Summary

AN ACT Amending sections 38-431.01 and 38-431.03, Arizona Revised Statutes; relating to public meetings and proceedings.

AI Summary

This bill amends Arizona law to prevent public bodies from including proposals to impose or increase a tax rate, assessment, or fee on the "consent agenda" of a meeting. The consent agenda is typically a list of routine items that are voted on together without individual discussion. Additionally, if a matter that requires a final vote or decision is discussed in an executive session, which is a private meeting of a public body, it must then be placed on the regular agenda for public discussion and cannot be added to the consent agenda. This change aims to ensure greater transparency and public input on financial matters.
