All Comments:

James McClafferty, Self: The Arizona public needs this proper oversite to be protected against potential damage
caused by unqualified dispensing of eyewear.; Terry Brown, Self: | am a VP for one of the largest privately owned
optometry practices in the US. With over 15 years in the business and over 25 years in business operation.; Darwin
Mordhorst, Self: | respectfully ask you to vote against this bill,and keep licensure safe in Arizona for the protection
of all citizens who live here and to protect opticians livelihood here in this state. | have been licensed in the state
for over 22 years .; Julia Moghadam Abrishami, Self: Repealing Dispensing Optician licensure undermines public
safety and consumer protection, risking the quality of care. Licensed opticians ensure accurate eyewear, and
eliminating licensure would lead to unqualified individuals serving the public.; Michael Rens, Self: 1am a Licensed
Optician since 2012. Removing the License from Arizona would be a negative to keeping quality and ethics.
Creating a non licensed state will open the ability to dispense without oversight leading the Doctor to review
issues.; Emit Torres, Self: It's very important to keep LDO in the state of AZ.; Greg Barr, Self: This bill is frivolous and
partisan interference in government regulations; jesse saenz, Self: As a consumer | feel more comfortable

for patient care and to ensure those that need our services are getting the best that they can.; Margaret Whelan,
Executive Director, Self: Consider in discussions & decision-making, the regulation of professions. Maintaining
robust regulatory frameworks is not merely a bureaucratic necessity; it's a crucial component of protecting health,
safety & welfare of the constituents we serve.; Suzanne Coleman, Self: The Board of Dispensing Opticians is crucial
due to its role in regulating the profession and ensuring public safety. Its elimination could jeopardize consumer
protection and industry standards, highlighting the need for its continued existence.; Sheri Mayes, Self: We are a
self sufficient board since 1956. We help protect the citizens of Arizona with regards to their vision needs. We
also elevate the profession by ensuring certain standards are met!; Michael Ayars, Self: The board creates a skilled
system that benefits Arizona residents as well as its economy.; Colin Trout, Self: As a six year navy veteran and a
licensed optician of over 30 years | am confided that | must re-invent myself at the age of 59. This bill must be
denied. You need a license to cut hair, but not to dispense a medical product.; Angelia Dyer, Self: Licenses are
necessary to protect patient care and those needing glasses.

All Comments:

Shirley Dye, Self: Regulations should be removed from many businesses, etc. This should not be going to a ballot,
most citizens do not know about these things. But, yes, if there is a new reg prices should have oversight.; Darlene
Younker, Self: Increased regulatory costs and unfunded mandates cause tax increases, in my opinion. We must get
a handle on legislators and rule-makers penchant for tax and spend.; Stephen Harris, Self: This is a simple checks-
and-balance provision; Nikki Colletti, Self: This a a good checks and balances provision; Helen Hebert, Self: needed
for checks and balances; Starr Costa, Self: Checks and balance provisions make sense.; Peter Asencio, Self: | ama
PC Captain, AZ State Committeeman. We all should be accountably for a budget to controll spending EVEN
goverment agencyes.; Michael Mote, Self: | support this bill as a simple check-and-balance provision.; Gary
Zimmerman, Self: Common sense financial efficiency and responsiblity.; Wendy Radimer, Self: | Support this bill.
Wendy Radimer Yavapai County PC; Paul Johnson, Self: | fully support this bill. Arnold Paul Johnson, Precinct
Committeeman, Yavapai County; Carolyn Watson, Self: The voters decided this issue just last November. It would
criminalized unhoused people and make the cities liable. Rather than pay for the inevitable lawsuits this bill would
create, can't we move on?; Marina Cabanillas Quintana, Self: This would not only kneecap our state government's
ability to regulate spending, but is a direct slap in the face of voters who literally just rejected this idea.; Sandy
Bahr, Sierra Club - Grand Canyon Chapter: This is quite similar to Prop 315, rejected by voters last November. It
creates huge bureaucracy around rulemaking too.; Judith Simons, Self: Legislative overreach. Rejected by voters
who opposed Prop 315 just 3 months ago.; Judith Robbins, Self: This has already been voted down by the majority
of voters. Take these restrictions off of voters access to dropping off their ballots. Listen to AZ voters! Vote No.;
Kelley Murphy, Self: This will only cause gridlock and leave every day administration and operation of government
at the whims of political parties.; Mary Ann Graffagnino, Self: No, we need our state government to be able to
regulate spending.; Beatriz Urrea, Self: This idea has already been rejected by voters. It is a bad idea and we don't
want it.; Alisa McMahon, Self: 1. Voters rejected Prop 315 in 2024. 2. We have 3 branches of government for good
reason. 3. We have regulations for good reasons. 4. Exhibit better judgment than the 2024 legislature and do NOT
be responsible for a four-page ballot.; Michael Fiflis, Self: Quit bucking the will of the people. We already rejected
Prop 315 last year. This resolution, if approved, would create enormous red tape and prevent the government
from doing its jobs. It also violates the separation of powers clause.; Claudia Bloom, Self: We already voted against
this.; Dianne Post, AZ NATIONAL ORGANIZATION FOR WOMEN (NOW), Self: The people have said no. No means
no.; Cynthia Couture, Self: Voters rejected prop 315 already.; Donita Ramos, Self: No need to vote on this again.;
Catherine Sigmon, Self: Voters already voted this down. It's arrogant to override the will of the people.; Gail
Kamaras, Self: Voters just said a big NO to this idea; Charlie Silver, Self: This was literally just rejected by voters ion
the last election.; Patricia Gerrodette, Self: We already said no to this. Quit wasting our time and your time too.;
Peggy Yeargain-Williams, Self: A slap in the face to voters who just rejected this idea.; Chris Allen, Self: You tried
this one already. The voters said no. If you keep saying no to the voters, they will vote you out.; Kurt Reuter, Self:
Similar to Prop. 315, which was rejected by voters last November. Please listen to your constituents!; Deirdre
MacDonald, Self: This was just rejected by voters in 2024! What are you trying to pull!; Lisa Maczura, Self:
Regulation makes things harder for people with less than stellar motives. Bad bill.; Joseph Alexander, Self: An
inappropriate and unwieldy infringement of the legislature on proper roles of State agencies.; Nelson Morgan, Self:
We voters already rejected this idea - it would be a regulation to reduce bureaucracy that would increase
bureaucracy, just of a different kind.; Maria Hidalgo, Self: Copy of Prop 315, already shot down by voters on the
2024 ballot. This would not only kneecap our AZ's government's ability to regulate spending, but is a direct slap in
the face of voters who literally just rejected this idea. AZ already said NO!; Jan Perozeni Corbus, Self: Another
attempt at pushing through a Bill that was already rejected by the Voters.; Paula Redinger, Self: Does Kolodin not
realize voters already rejected this idea? Committee, take note, we already said NO.; Marilyn Murov, Self: This
resurrects Prop 315 which voters already rejected in Nov. 2024. This resurrection is a waste of time and is an end
run around the will of the voters.; Penny Boone, Self: NO. Voters rejected this on the 2024 ballot.; Matthew
Nelson, Self: This bill already voted this bill down.; Carol Garnett, Self: The voters already said this is a bad idea. No
need to increase regulatory costs or add more clutter to our ballots.; Carol Campbell, Self: The voters already
decided and said NO!; Kathleen Dubbs, Self: The voters have spoken: they said no!; Kathy Boelte, Self: Voters just
rejected this in 2024. It disrespects the decision of the voters.; Wendy Anderson, Self: Voters rejected already- get
rid of it!; Gary Townsend, Self: This would not only kneecap our state government's ability to regulate spending,
but is a direct slap in the face of voters who literally just rejected this idea.; Annarose Lilly, Self: The voters already
said NO to this.; William S. James, Self: This seems to be essentially prop 315 which was defeated by voters in the
last election. Since this did not go your way, do you feel that there should be a revote? If so, should there also be
a revote on your election to office?; Denise Skalon, Self: this is a close copy of Prop 315 which was not passed by
the voters on the 2024 ballot; Sherri Johnson, Self: This was already rejected by Arizona voters in Prop 315.; Marcia
Tingley, Self: Another power grab by the Legislature of executive office authority. Also a slap in the face of voters
who just rejected this idea.; Jeri Dow, Self: voters already rejected a similar bill in 2024.; Margaret Tinsley, Self:
This bill would make it very difficult for agencies to operate efficiently and would lengthen the legislative session
by requiring the legislature to do agency work. An all-around bad idea. Please vote no.; Loretta O'Connor, Self:
Voters *just* said No to this. Don't waste our time, money, and paper; Mary-Jeanne Fincher, Self: Voters already
rejected this idea. Stop already.; Jocelyn Dustan, Self: This harms our state government's ability to regulate
spending, and is also an insult to voters who literally just rejected this idea.; Angela Shopmeyer, Self: This would
not only kneecap our state government's ability to regulate spending, but is a direct slap in the face of voters who
literally just rejected this idea.; Daniel Stormont, Self: First of all, if you can't get legislation passed through normal
order, stop sending it to the ballot. We're tired of doing your job. Secondly, economic costs should not be the only
measure for regulation, protecting citizens should be.; Cynthia Wagner, Self: This would not only kneecap our state
government's ability to regulate spending, but is a direct slap in the face of voters who literally just rejected this
idea.; Susan Morris, Self: Did you not hear us in 2024?!; Alice Patricia Price, Self: This has been rejected by voters;
Deborah Howard, Self: Voters rejected this measure just three months ago. Respect voters and oppose this bill
right here, this week.; Roy Verdery, Self: Unnecessary interference by the legislature into the day to day work of
governing. Costly in time and money.; LINDA GANTVERG, Self: This idea has been rejected by the voters already.;
Rebecca Haynes, Self: We already said NO to Prop 315. Why would we want to pay more to hamstring the state
gov't's ability to regulate spending?; Theresa Ryan, Self: This idea was just rejected by the voters; Angela J. Miller,
Self: We voters just rejected this in November in the form of Pop 315! Stop disrespecting the voters wishes.; Nancy
Lecrone Nonini, Self: Voters already defeated; Aaron Essif, Self: This is similar to Prop. 315 which was shot down in
November.; Jo Ann Caruthers, Self: Voters just said NO to a similar proposition! NO! NO! NO!; Donna Corbin, Self:
The voters turned this down in 2024. Republicans, stop trying to take away the people’s voice. That is not what you
do in a democracy.; Janet Hamlin, Self: voters just rejected prop 315, this looks like a version of that. don't waste
voters time with repeat issues on the ballot.; Kelly Lake-Warnberg, Self: We've already said "NO" to this before.
Let's focus on real needs!; Sandra Adler, Self: Already voted down by AZ voters; Angela Buer, Self: This has been
previously rejected by voters and will restrict AZ gov't ability to regulate spending.; Dee Maitland, Self: We already
told you NO!; Louise Good, Self: This is very similar to Prop 315 that was voted down in last November's election.
Take the hint and vote NO.; Jessica Kitterman, Self: This bill is a direct slap in the face of voters who literally just
rejected this idea. Oppose and respect the voters' voices.; Chris Ahearn, Self: The Arizona state government needs
to be able to regulate spending - a duty to all Arizona citizens. The voters recently rejected this idea. It is not a
productive or proper bill. Thank you; janice sandoz, Self: Prop 315 was voted down in the last election. Respect
the will of the people.; Linda Guarino, Self: We already said NO!; marcia stewart, Self: voters rejected similiar in
2024. knee caps state government to regulate spending; Margaret Cordovano, Self: Requiring a state agency to
submit for review a regulation which would incur regulatory costs of over $500,000 over 5 years would needlessly
give additional hurdles to agencies in carrying out their missions. This was rejected by voters in 2024.; Karen
VanAllen, Self: Didn't voters just vote this down in November? Reintroducing this is insulting.; Linda Reichert, Self:
Voters have recently rejected this proposal. Why are legislators wasting time on this instead of addressing real
problems?; Barbara Rodman, Self: | urge you to drop this proposal, which would not only hinder our state
government's ability to regulate spending, but has already been rejected by voters (Prop 315) in the 2024 election.
This is a waste of taxpayer time and money.; Terri Farneti, Self: This would not only kneecap our state
government's ability to regulate spending, but is a direct slap in the face of voters who literally just rejected this
idea.; Jillian Ryan, Self: This would not only kneecap our state government's ability to regulate spending, but is a
direct slap in the face of voters who literally just rejected this idea.; Michael Levine, Self: This bill is a close copy of
Prop 315, shot down by voters on the 2024 ballot.This would not only kneecap our state government's ability to
regulate spending, but is a direct slap in the face of voters who literally just rejected this idea.; Aaron Torrance,
Self: This would not only kneecap our state government's ability to regulate spending, but it's a direct slap in the
face of voters who literally just rejected this idea.; Dawn Norton LD29, Self: Banning agencies from creating rules
that increase costs undermines government regulations. | oppose this bill as it limits effective governance and
disregards voter rejection of similar proposals.; Bart Briefstein, Self: The people have spoken on this. DO NOT PASS
THIS.; Tiana Channer, Self: Very close copy of Prop 315 that we the voters already rejected in 2024. Stop trying to
overturn voter mandates.; Pamela Chittenden, Self: Listen to the voters! We already said “no”!; Karen Brown, Self:
This is essentially the same as Prop 315, which was rejected by voters in November 2024.; Barrie Stachel, Self:
HCR2038 is the same as Prop 315 that was rejected resoundingly by voters two months ago. This bill is a blatant
disregard of AZ voters' wishes, waste of resources. Vote NO on HCR2038.; Joseph Murray, Self: This would not only
kneecap our state government's ability to regulate spending, but is a direct slap in the face of voters who literally
just rejected this idea.; Mike Kunnecke, Self: How about "if at ist U don't succeed" just go home!; Allen Brown,
Self: A bad idea. Just another version of Prop 315 that was overwhelming rejected by the voters last November.
Please republicans, let's get to work on bills that would help the citizens of Arizona instead of wasting time with
Prop13 2.0.; Philip Carman, Self: Our state legislators are not experts in all fields. The experts in the relevant
agencies are the persons best qualified to make decisions regarding necessary expenses for their agencies to
conduct their missions.; Elissa Karn, Self: Voters rejected this in the recent election; it is insulting to see it

charge of decision-making that requires expertise.; Jane Johnson, Self: | voted against this before on the 2024
ballot and oppose this bill. It would prevent state government's ability to regulate spending.; Lisa Koenig, Self:
Voters have already spoken on this, and they do not want it. Vote NO.; Nicole Linn, Self: This is an issue that has
already been vetoed and rejected by voters. You are not listening to your constituents and trying to enact policies
that are clearly NOT what the public wants.; Richard Brock, Self: | am an Independent voter and | rejected this very
same idea (Proposition 315) in last November's election. Please (Please, Please) listen to the voters. Which is your
job.; Nick Arnold, CLIMATE CABINET ACTION: Voters rejected this in 2024 by a good margin, let's respect the will of
the voters who demonstrated a clear understanding of the issues with how differently they voted on each
legislative referral.; Susan Heck, Self: The voters already said NO to this issue, so why is more time and effort spent
on it?; Kathryn Dorn, Self: Please don't spam our ballots with a rehashed version of Prop. 315. We defeated your

on this gaslighting attempt.; James Lewison, Self: This bill would degrade our state government's ability to regulate
spending and goes AGAINST the will of the voters who rejected this in the 2024 election cycle

HB 2049: administrative decisions; security proceedings; hearings
Sponsor: Representative Kolodin, LD 3
Committee on Regulatory Oversight

Overview

Requires the right to trial by jury to be available and exercisable to the defendant in an
appeal of a final administrative decision in which the judgment or order sought seeks
payment from the other party.

History
A person is permitted to appeal a final administrative decision of a contested case or an

appealable agency action in accordance with statute relating to judicial review of
administrative decisions. In an action for judicial review of a final administrative decision,
jurisdiction is vested with the superior court, unless another venue is expressly prescribed in
statute (A.R.S. §§ 41-1092.08 and 12-905).

An affected party in a final administrative decision must file a notice of appeal within 35
days of receiving the decision in order to commence an action to review a final administrative
decision. The notice of appeal must contain a statement of the findings and decisions sought
to be reviewed (A.R.S. §§ 12-904 and 12-909).

After reviewing the administrative record and supplementing evidence, the court may affirm,
reverse, modify or vacate and remand the agency action. The court is required to affirm the
agency action unless the court concludes that the agency action is: 1) contrary to law; 2) not
supported by substantial evidence; 3) arbitrary and capricious; or 4) an abuse of discretion.

Statutes relating to the appeal of a final administrative decision do not apply to the issuance
of evidence of indebtedness, such as stocks and bonds, by public service corporations under
the jurisdiction of the Corporation Commission (A.R.S. §§ 40-301 and 12-910).

Provisions

1. Requires the right to trial by jury to be available and exercisable to the defendant in an
appeal of a final administrative decision in which the judgement or order sought seeks
payment from the other party. (Sec. 1)

2. Removes, pertaining to appeals of final administrative decisions before judicial review,
language that exempts public service corporations that issue stocks and bonds. (Sec. 1)

3. Makes conforming changes. (Sec. 1)
