HB 2414 establishes the comprehensive health insurance plan.

A strike everything amendment will be offered in the Commerce and Economic Development Committee.

Summary of the Proposed Strike-Everything Amendment

A proposed strike-everything amendment to HB2414 requires all state agencies to post a copy of their annual report on their web site rather than distributing printed copies.

History

Current law pertaining to copies of an annual report states:

Unless otherwise specifically required by law, each agency, board, commission, and department which prepares an annual report of its activities shall prepare and distribute as provided by law copies of such annual report on twenty pound bond paper printed with black ink except that the cover and back pages may be of sixty-five pound or less cover paper.

With recent advances in technology, most state agencies maintain web sites easily accessible to the public. Most agency information is already posted to these web sites. HB 2414 would require all state agencies with a web site to post their annual reports on the web as well. If the annual reports were posted on the web the agency would only have to distribute several printed copies, thus saving money on printing.

Provisions

· Stipulates that an agency that maintains a web site must post a copy of any annual report on their web site.

· Mandates that an agency that posts an annual report on its web site cannot distribute printed copies of the report except:

-to the Governor, the Speaker of the House, the President of the Senate, and the Director of the Arizona State Library, Archives, and Public Records, if required by law

-pursuant to a request under Title 39 (public records)

· Adds that any printed copy of a report distributed must comply with current statutory requirements.

· Contains Session Law requiring an agency to report the savings to JLBC.
