accurate. Additionally, | request that bill information be transparent to prevent fraud.; Susan Brenton,
MANUFACTURED HOUSING COMMUNITIES OF AZ INC: Today's method of charging residents for utilities using the

All Comments:
Penny Boone, Self: NO! This punitive bill leaves no room for correcting misinformation or determining what
“suitable” means. It carrys automatic criminal penalties It is cruel.; Katherine Warren, Self: Arizona should be
ashamed! Arizona ranks in the bottom 5 nationally for unemployment benefits. Currently people must lose their
job through no fault of their own or a compelling personal reason in order to be eligible for unemployment.;
Michael Fiflis, Self: More bureaucratic red tape, with no appropriation to pay for the extra work required of DES.
Unnecessary.; Gail Kamaras, Self: A similar bill failed last session. Our benefits are already too skimpy and hard to
get.; Charlie Silver, Self: What is "suitable?"; Brenda Nelson, Self: Previously vetoed - OPPOSE; Patricia Gerrodette,
Self: That's a lot of databases to be required to be checked on a weekly basis! What if one of more of them is
disbanded by the federal government? Or its name is changed? Will DES get more budget $$ if needed to do all
this work?; Martha O'Connor, Self: Vv punitive bill leaves no room for correcting misinformation or determining
what “suitable” means, instead carrying automatic criminal penalties; Francesca Pardes, Self: This punitive bill does
not leave any room for someone to correct misinformation or take into account what "suitable" could mean
before carrying automatic criminal penalties.; Roxanna Kearns, Self: Arizona ranks in the bottom 5 nationally for
unemployment benefits.; Edna Weigel, Self: This idea is no less stupid than it was in2023. Why even consider it
again?; Rebecca Haynes, Self: The punitive bill leaves no room for correcting misinformation or determining what
“suitable” means, instead carrying automatic criminal penalties.; Mary Nelson, Self: And where does the funding
for this added scrutiny come from?; Kristen Abrahamson, Self: Our Unemployment benefits pale compared to
other states and people would not want to forego a good job so they can continue to collect these benefits. Who
decides what is a "Suitable" job. this is a punitive law and | strongly oppose it.; William Yohey, Self: Steven Miller
would be proud of this bill. Ridiculous ! Who can live on $320 a week? If an appropriate job comes along people
would take it.; Mary Gaudio, Self: Who decides what a "suitable" job is for the individual? Seems unfair and
punitive, especially when the unemployment "benefit" is so low.; Dee Maitland, Self: Unnecessary torture of the
unemployed particularly in a slow job market; Carol Garnett, Self: There are already rules in place. This bill is too
punitive and unnecessary.; Jennifer Dawson, Self: copy of a vetoed bill from 2023 - punitive - leaves no room for
correcting misinformation or determining what “suitable” means, carrying automatic criminal penalties instead.;
Chris Ahearn, Self: Please oppose. Forcing unemployment recipients to submit documentation of at least 5 work
searches actions each week is unreasonable. The punishing bill leaves no room for human error or misinformation.
Thank you.; Amy Gaiennie, Self: | strongly oppose this bill! It leaves no room for correcting misinformation or
determining what “suitable” means. It results in further punishment for the unemployed in a state that already
ranks in the bottom 5 nationally for unemployment benefits.; Loretta O'Connor, Self: This bill was wrong last year
and is wrong again. Its primary purpose is to drive up the governor's veto number so its sponsor can squeal.;
Cynthia Wagner, Self: I'm a voter. Previously vetoed in 2023. The punitive bill leaves no room for correcting
misinformation or determining what “suitable” means, instead carrying automatic criminal penalties.; Nelson
Morgan, Self: It's tough enough to be unemployed without adding more problems.; Gary Townsend, Self: The
punitive bill leaves no room for correcting misinformation or determining what “suitable” means, instead carrying
automatic criminal penalties. Ata weekly maximum of just $320, Arizona ranks in the bottom 5 nationally for
unemployment benefits.; Dan Roskey, Self: We don't need arbitrary quotas on people receiving unemployment.
This encourages frivolous job searches and wastes time having people apply to positions that they don't intend to
take or to positions for which they or over or under qualified.; Angela Buer, Self: We’ve already rejected this
harmful policy in 2023. HB 2690 wastes state resources on a "gotcha" system for Arizonans who lost jobs through
no fault of their own. Let’s focus on living wages, not criminalizing the unemployed. | OPPOSE.; Karolyn Switzer,
Self: | think we already have quite enough restrictions and regulations around unemployment compensation. This
sounds like it's designed to be unworkable such that more people get thrown off.; Margaret Tinsley, Self: This is a
bad, mean just to be mean, bill. It does not consider the realities of unemployment, and is punitive and not helpful.
It would not benefit Arizona. Please vote no.; LINDA GANTVERG, Self: As an employer, | find this bill to be unfair to
unemployment benefit seekers.; Marcia Tingley, Self: This is a punitive bill for those on unemployment, w/no way
to correct misinformation or determining what “suitable” means, instead carrying automatic criminal penalties. AZ
ranks in bottom 5 states nationally for unemployment benefits.; Kerry Jackson, Self: We already have one of the
lowest unemployment benefit. As it only pays a person's rent or house payment. We don't need more hoops to
jump through that will cause more people to be deigned benefits. vote no!; Lisa Maczura, Self: I've been out of
work, It's hard. Don't make it harder.; Jonathan Brechner, Self: Punitive and again, something that seeks to punish
those who have no job.; Patricia Brunner, Self: This was vetoed last year and would be vetoed again this year. It is
highly punitive and worsens the lives of the unemployed. OPPOSE; Aaron Essif, Self: This is a copy of a vetoed bill
from 2023!; Theresa Ryan, Self: Not a good idea. It's a punitive bill for the unemployed.; Greg Olszta, Self: The
punitive bill leaves no room for correcting misinformation or determining what “suitable” means, instead carrying
automatic criminal penalties.; Susan Heck, Self: Still No and still cruel.; Jeanmarie Haney, Self: Punitive bill that
leaves no room for correcting misinformation or determining what “suitable” means, instead carrying automatic
criminal penalties.; Susan Bowen, Self: This punitive bill leaves no room for correcting misinformation or
determining what "suitable" means, instead carrying automatic criminal penalties when current weekly maximum
is in the nations bottom 5; This is harassment of the unemployed.; Karen Brown, Self: It is unconscionable to
criminalize unemployment. It is difficult and demeaning as it is to try to get unemployment in Arizona. Don't make
it worse. OPPOSE.; Kathryn Dorn, Self: Forcing people to jump through red-tape hoops to document their job-
search activities actively detracts from people's ability to find and hold onto a decent job (because red tape eats
valuable time); also, this bill's criminalization aspect is awful.

HB 2501: appraisal management companies; definition
Sponsor: Representative Livingston, LD 28
Committee on Commerce
Overview
Conforms the statutory definition of appraisal management company with the federal
definition.
History
The Arizona Department of Insurance and Financial Institutions (DIF) is the primary
regulatory authority that oversees and administers laws governing Appraisal Management
Companies (AMCs). DIFI is responsible for the registering, monitoring, and investigating of
AMCs to ensure compliance with laws and regulations (A.R.S. § 32-3605).
An AMC is an entity that administers an appraiser panel of independent contract appraisers
to perform real property appraisal services, receives requests for real property appraisal
services from clients, and for a fee, contracts with one or more independent appraisers to
perform appraisal services. They serve as a third-party liaison between primarily lenders
and appraisers.
AMCs are statutorily defined as a corporation, partnership, sole proprietorship, subsidiary
or other business entity that directly or indirectly performs appraisal management services,
and that: a) administers an appraisal panel of at least 16 state-licensed or state-certified
appraisers in one state who are independent contractors or at least 25 state-licensed or state-
certified appraisers in at least two states who perform real property appraisal services in this
state for clients; and b) otherwise serves as a third-party liaison of appraisal management
services between clients and appraisers (A.R.S. § 32-3661).

HB 2693: insurance; bona fide associations; qualifications
Sponsor: Representative Livingston, LD 28
Committee on Commerce
Overview
Revises the qualifications as a bona fide association.
History
Statute outlines the qualifications for an association to qualify as a path 1 and path 2 bona
fide association. To qualifying as a path 2 bona fide association, an association had to meet
the requirements outlined in federal law relating to the definition of employer under Section
3(5) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (HRISA)— Association Health Plans
(A.R.S. § 20-2324).
ERISA regulates employee benefit plans, including private-sector job-based retirement plans,
health plans, and other welfare benefit plans. Section 3(5) of ERISA defined the employer to
include "any person acting directly as an employer, or indirectly in the interest of an
employer, in relation to an employee benefit plan; and includes a group or association of
employers acting for an employer in such capacity."
The U.S. Department of Labor adopted the 2018 AHP Rule, which established alternative
criteria under ERISA section 3(5) for determining when employers may join together in a
group that could be treated as the "employer" sponsor of a single multiple employer group
health plan. The Department has since rescinded the 2018 AHP Rule.
Provisions
1. Removes the classification of and requirements for a path 2 bona fide association. (Sec. 1)
2. Stipulates an association that meets the requirements of an employer as defined by
federal law qualifies as a bona fide association. (Sec. 1)
3. Restates that the bona fide association requirements do not limit or prohibit the operation
of a self-funded multiple employer welfare arrangement, rather than the issuance of self-
funded health benefits plans, through:
a. certain bona fide associations;
b. astatewide chamber of commerce or a statewide business league that meets outlined
criteria; or
c. the statewide chamber of commerce or statewide business league is exempt from
federal taxation. (Sec. 1)
4. Modifies the definition of small employer. (Sec. 1)

HB 2693:
EXPANDING HEALTH COVERAGE
OPTIONS FOR SMALL BUSINESSES
A MARKET-BASED APPROACH TO IMPROVING AFFORDABILITY AND CHOICE.
SPONSORED BY REP. DAVID LIVINGSTON
THE CHALLENGE FACING SMALL BUSINESSES
Small businesses are the backbone of our economy. But when it comes to healthcare, they are often
at a disadvantage in a market designed for larger employers, resulting in higher premiums,
fewer coverage options, and less stability.
THE SOLUTION: HOUSE BILL 2693
House Bill 2693 allows more of Arizona’s small employers to access affordable coverage options through
a broader Mutual Employer Welfare Arrangement (MEWA). MEWAs already are regulated under Arizona law.
HB 2693 allows for multiple employers from different industries, typically through a state chamber of
commerce or business association, to pool together to offer health banefite to their employees. HB 2693
does not add or remove any regulatory requirements; rather, it expands access to MEWAs as an option for
employers. HB 2693 is an employer-led, market-based solution that helps small businesses compete by
leveraging already-existing Arizona law.
HOW IT WORKS?
> Multiple small employers may participate > Riskis shared across multiple employers, which
through a statewide chamber of commerce can lower premiums and stabilize costs.
or business association. > Plans are business-led, not government-run, and
> Participating businesses make individual participation is voluntary.

HB 2279: commercial river outfitters; limited liability
Sponsor: Representative Way, LD 15
Committee on Commerce
Overview
Provides a limited liability exception to commercial river outfitters.
History
Grand Canyon National Park provides unique opportunities for individuals to raft down the
white waters of the Colorado River. Individuals who river raft are exposed to inherent risks
including rapids and currents, capsizing and falling, cold water immersion and drowning.
The Grand Canyon River Outfitters Association oversee and regulate the commercial river
outfitters for Grand Canyon National Park.
Statute grants certain industries limited liability protection from injuries or death except for
instances of intentional misconduct or gross negligence. As part of granting limited liability
protection, most industries must have a signed liability release form. An owner or operator
of a closed-course motor vehicle racetrack is not liable for an injury or death to nongeneral
spectators provided they have signed liability release forms and the injury or death was not
caused by intentional misconduct or gross negligence (A.R.S § 12-556).
Provisions
1. Exempts a commercial river outfitter from liability for an injury to or the death of a
participant resulting from an inherent risk of a river trip in Grand Canyon National Park.
(Sec. 1)
2. Specifies a commercial river outfitter is not responsible for altering, eliminating,
controlling or decreasing the inherent risks of participating in a river trip in Grand

Sponsor: Representative Heap, LD 10
Committee on Commerce
Overview
Modifies the eligible criteria for Unemployment Insurance (UI) benefits. Requires the
Department of Economic Security (DES) to cross-check the validity of UI benefit claims
against prescribed data sets.
History
DES administers the UI benefit program, which provides temporary financial relief to eligible
unemployed individuals who separate from their previous employers at no fault of their own.
To be eligible for Ul benefits, an individual must be able to work, available for work and
actively seeking work. Furthermore, the individual must engage in a systematic and
sustained effort to obtain work during at least four days of the week and make at least one
job contact per day on four different days of the week.
DES examines any claim for benefits and determines whether the claim is valid. DES must
promptly notify the claimant of the determination. The claimant has 15 days from the date
the notification was mailed to appeal the determination. Individuals who fail to apply for
available and suitable work, actively engage in seeking work, accept suitable work when
offered or return to customary self-employment as directed by DES are disqualified from UI
benefits (Title 23, Chapter 4, A.R.S.).
Provisions
UI Benefit Eligibility
1. Modifies eligibility requirements by adding that an individual must actively seek and
apply for suitable work and:
a. conduct at least five specified work search actions each week to qualify as actively
seeking and applying for suitable work; and
b. provide a weekly report that details the individual's work search actions for every
week a benefit is sought. (Sec. 4)
2. Removes the requirement of an individual to engage in a systematic and sustained effort
to obtain work during at least four days of the week and make at least one job contact per
day on four different days of the week to be eligible for UI benefits. (Sec. 4)

benefits and referred for prosecution if a cross-check results in information indicating
that a claim is ineligible or fraudulent. (Sec. 5)

validity if the initial claim:
a. was submitted electronically through an internet address located outside of Arizona

b. references an address for which another current claim was submitted; or
c. is associated with a direct deposit for a bank account already used for another current
claim. (Sec. 5)
