History

A.R.S. § 41-1033 outlines the process for a person to petition GRRC to request review of an existing agency practice, substantive policy statement, final rule or regulatory licensing requirement that does not meet certain statutory requirements. The GRRC chair is required to place a matter on an agenda if GRRC receives information that the statutory requirements are not being met and at least four members of GRRC request that the matter be heard in a public meeting. GRRC is required to notify the agency that a matter has been placed on an agenda within 10 days of the fourth request and must make a determination within 90 days. The agency is required to submit a statement addressing the matter within 30 days of notice from GRRC. An agency practice, policy statement, final rule or licensing requirement remains in effect while under GRRC consideration. GRRC may modify, revise or void an agency practice, policy statement, final rule or licensing requirement that is determined to not meet statutory requirements.
