Arizona Governor’s Regulatory Review Council—Sunset Review

The Council has taken steps to meet some statutory responsibilities we reviewed but did not always notify agencies as required of 5-year review report deadlines, increasing the risk that ineffective or unnecessary rules remained in effect, and although it approved or denied proposed agency rulemaking packages we reviewed within statutorily required time frames, it lacked a process to track its compliance with these requirements and did not comply with some open meeting law requirements for executive sessions
