bill. My friend's non profit was tressed passed our of a city park for providing first aid to the homeless.; Merissa
Hamilton, Self: As a state committeemen who often comes across homeless people who need help, this bill would
allow me to offer them materials from my first aid kit without political perscution by the government. Legalize
good samaritans.; Ceresse Nada, Self: First aid care should not require a license. It is criminal that a city has denied
this basic care to the homeless!

All Comments:

Shirley Dye, Self: This seems unnecessary, but if a person does not merit a position by qualifications or have the
character to work well with others, they should not qualify for other positions if they were not qualified by the
senate in the first place.; Stephen Harris, Self: Prevents an unscrupulous governor (as in Hobbs), from hiring a
rejected director that would be given the powers of a director, thus circumventing the appointment ratification
process; Charles Mackey, Self: | support this bill. Only qualified individuals should be employed in government
agencies.; Nikki Colletti, Self: 1 support this because it prevents an unscrupulous governor (as in Hobbs), from hiring
a rejected director that would be given the powers of a director, thus circumventing the appointment ratification
process; Bridget Nelke, Self: LD28 | support this bill; James Roth, Self: This bill presents a good policy since it would
prevent a governor from circumventing the legislature and placing a rejected candidate for an agency appointment
from being hired in the same agency; April Smith, Self: Senate has oversight on this process, no work arounds;
Joseph Myers, Self: Basis: would stop an individual whose nomination as Agency Director /rejected by Senate
from working in any capacity in that agency; Joe Fiumara, Self: This makes sense.; Nancy Osgood, Self: As a PC in
LD12 | fully support this bill.; Helen Hebert, Self: we need to hold people accountable if they circumvent the laws;
Earl Taylor, Self: Principle 21 - 21. Strong local self-government is the keystone to preserving human freedom. If
our representative reject a person working in government, that person should not be working in any government
position.; Starr Costa, Self: Makes perfect sense to me!; Mary Evelyn Simpson, Self: YavGOP PC If a governor
nominee for an agency director position is rejected by the Legislature. They should NOT be elgible to work in any
caoacity in that agency; Peter Asencio, Self: | am a PC Captain, AZ State Committeeman.; Thomas Simacek, Self:
Rejection of Senate should be final, no work arounds!; Garrett Bowers, Self: Precinct & State Committeeman and
2nd VC, YavGOP. Agency appts are VERY important and affect "We the People." Our elected officials should have a
SAY in who gets appointed.; Jerry Knorr, Self: No bypassing the Legislature; Mary Jamsa, Self: This bill is common
sense. | support it.; deana corsa, Self: PC Prescott; Roy Scott Lassell, Self: | support this bill. It helps to ensure
validity of those nominations.; Michael Mote, Self: | support this bill to help eliminate discrimination of any kind.;
brenda simon, Self: Common sense.; Douglas Simon, Self: Let's use common sense.; Kathryn Clark, Self: Please
remove the loophole(s) where a candidate for an agency, when rejected by the Legislature, cannot then be hired
into the same/similar role in the agency. Please vote YES. Thank you.; Joelene Williamson, Self: | support this bill
because too often, unprincipled politicians will sneak their comrades into positions of authority and power; joel
strabala, Self: | strongly support legislation that prohibits an individual whose nomination as the Director of an
Arizona Agency was rejected by the Senate from working in any capacity (directly or indirectly) for that agency.;
Karen Sherrell, Self: If the Senate has done their due diligence and turned down a candidate, there is probably a
pretty good reason not to allow this person to sneakily try a back door way to dupe voters.; Brent Michelson, Self:
Prohibit an individual whose nomination as the Director of an Agency was rejected by the Senate from working in
any capacity in that agency.; Gary Zimmerman, Self: Prevents unscrupulous circumvention of the regular
appointment ratification process.; Mary Lunn, Self: No more DEI or rejected individuals back doored.; Wendy
Radimer, Self: | am in favor this Bill. Wendy Radimer Precinct Committeeman and State Committeeman; Paul
Johnson, Self: | support This Bill . Arnold Paul Johnson, Precinct Committeeman; Kay Bateman, Self: LD28 If the
Senate rejects anyone for any reason, in a particular agency, they should not be allowed to work in that agency;
Cyndi Tuell, Self: please vote no; Daniel Stormont, Self: Just because a nominee doesn't get approved by the
Senate, that doesn't make them unqualified to serve with the agency.; Sarah Bihms LD29, Self: Blocking a rejected
nominee from working in the same agency is an unnecessary restriction. This bill prioritizes politics over
qualifications, limiting the talent pool and making state agencies less effective.; Kathleen Dubbs, Self: The governor
was voted in with the understanding that she is capable of making decisions about the heads of state agencies.;
Dayle Hartgerink, Self: LD28 PC | support this!; Lynda Brady, Self: If you are rejected from working in an agency it
should be in all capacities of that agency; Jana Segal, Self: Says that if the senate rejects a nominee for a state
agency director that person cannot serve in another position in the agency. Why not? Maybe the person is better
suited for the other position. This is legislative overreach.; marcia stewart, Self: Descriminates. micromanaging.
Agencies need to be able to hire who meets the needs.; Bonnie Lund, Self: No reason for a person who can no
longer be director of an agency to still be able to work in that agency.; Linda Burrier, Self: | support this bill.; Mary
Ann Graffagnino, Self: This is just punitive; Milly Lierman, Self: There may be many good reasons that a person
disqualified from one job is perfectly well qualified for other jobs.; David Erbsen, Self: Prohibits person whose
nomination as director of an agency was rejected from working for that agency at all; Suzanne Murray, Self:
Support prohibiting a person whose nomination as director of an agency who was rejected by the senate from
working for that agency at all; Kathryn Dorn, Self: This bill makes no sense; it would be like a company rule saying
that if someone applies for (but doesn't get) a senior-management position, the company should also never hire
them for a lower-level position for which they might be fully qualified.; Alisa McMahon, Self: First, the Senate is
not vetting nominees in good faith or applying reasonable standards for review. But beyond that, someone who is
not suitable for director may be very well qualified for another position in an agency.; Michael Fiflis, Self: This bill
would potentially disqualify very qualified people from government positions for no reason, except possibly
political retribution. The legislature should have more sense than that.

All Comments:

Mary Evelyn Simpson, Self: YavGOP PC_ The legislature should have absolute power over any agency spending.
Thhis would fix a loophole in Prop 108 that allows agencies to dictate "fees" that are not specifically approved by
statute; Peter Asencio, Self: | am a PC Captain, AZ State Committeeman.; Garrett Bowers, Self: Precinct & State
Committeeman and 2nd VC, YavGOP. "Do Your Job!" That's why we ELECT Legislative members to watch COST.
Approved; Wendy Radimer, Self: | am in favor this Bill. Wendy Radimer Precinct Committeeman and State
Committeeman; Paul Johnson, Self: | support This Bill . Arnold Paul Johnson, Precinct Committeeman; Sandy Bahr,
Sierra Club - Grand Canyon Chapter: The voters just said no to this. It is unnecessary and will just create more
bureaucracy.; Janie Hydrick, Self: Voters defeated this in 2024 when they voted down Prop 315. The voters have
spoken.; Dawn Tripp, Self: Listen, we voted down Prop 315 last year. Stop trying to give yourselves (AZ Legislature)
uncalled-for power over state agencies.; Mary Ann Graffagnino, Self: Voters just rejected a near identical measure
in November.; Beatriz Urrea, 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.; 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.; Lisa Olson, Self: This is a direct slap in the face of voters who literally just defeated this idea in 2024. Vote
no.; 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.; Cyndi Tuell, Self: please vote no; Carol Maas, Self: The hands of agencies should not
be tied by limiting the amount of money involved to proceed to do their job. We/they don't have time to get
approval for every effort as long as the budget is held to. Move on.; Donita Ramos, Self: voters already rejected
this; Gail Kamaras, Self: We just said a very loud no to this idea via prop 315 which was voted down in a large
majority; Sally Harvey, Self: Listen to the voters who just voted on this!; Louise Good, Self: This bill is a close copy
of Prop 315, which was rejected by the voters on the 2024 ballot. Legislators: Learn to take NO for an answer.;
Linda Reichert, Self: Wasn't this measure voted down in the most recent election? Why are you wasting time and
resources on this clearly bad idea?; Linda Edwards, Self: Didn't we the people already say no.; Angela Shopmeyer,
Self: 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.; Helen Jones, Self: This was just rejected by voters!; Paula Redinger, Self: We JUST rejected this. No.; Chris
Allen, Self: You already tried this. Voters rejected it. How do you think this is going to go for your re-election if you
pass something the voters specifically told you not to pass?; Jennifer Dawson, Self: close copy of Prop 315, shot
down by voters on the 2024 ballot. Trash this one, too.; 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. It
would limit AZ agencies ability to regulate spending.; Anne Leota Hart, Self: We, the voters, said NO to Prop 315.
We're not stupid. NO means NO.; Mary Nelson, Self: Voters already vetoed this; Daniel Stormont, Self: This bill
would make any rulemaking impossible and, given the utter dysfunction of the state legislature, would prevent any
action through lawmaking as well.; Bart James, Self: Voters rejected this idea last November. Listen to their
mandate and vote no.; marcia stewart, Self: rejected by voters...but its back. Does our congress not care about the
will of the voters?; 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.; Aaron Torrance, 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 in prop 315.; Jane Johnson, Self: | oppose because it prevents state
government to regulate spending.; Nelson Morgan, Self: Voters already shot down this idea on the ballot.;
Jacqueline deSa, Self: This was already shot down once (Prop 315) . This will kneecap our state govt's ability to
regulate spending, and is a direct slap in the face of voters who literally just REJECTED this idea.; Maria Hidalgo,
Self: AZ voters already said NO in 2024 to this Prop 315 (copy cat bill). 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. Enough!; Joseph Alexander, Self: An inappropriate effort to let the Legislature interfere with proper
responsibilities of state agencies.; Lisa Yencarelli, Self: The voters already rejected this.; Sarah Bihms LD29, Self: A
near-copy of Prop 315, which voters rejected, this measure limits state agencies from enacting needed regulations.
It forces all cost-increasing rules to go through the legislature, slowing progress and undercutting voter decisions.;
Kathleen Dubbs, Self: | guess Rep. Kolodin did not see how the people voted on Prop 315.; Angela Buer, Self: This is
a direct slap in the face of voters who literally rejected this idea in 2024. | Oppose - VOTE NO; 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

HB 2630: governor nominations; agency position; eligibility
Sponsor: Representative Kolodin, LD 3
Committee on Regulatory Oversight

Overview

Prohibits a nominee for a state agency director position who is rejected by the Senate, from
being eligible for any other position within the same state agency for which the individual
was nominated.

History
Certain gubernatorial nominees for state agencies are subject to confirmation by the Senate's

advise and consent process as defined in Senate Rule 20 (A). Such nominees for public office
must meet general requirements, are subject to tenure limitations and are liable to
impeachment for high crimes, misdemeanors or malfeasance in office.

The Governor is required to nominate a qualified person and transmit the nomination to the
Senate if the term of any appointive state office becomes expired or vacant during a regular
legislative session. When the Senate consents to a nomination, its secretary is required to
transmit a certified copy of the resolution of consent to the Secretary of State, who must
notify the Governor.

A nominee cannot serve longer than one year after nomination without Senate consent. If the
Senate rejects a nomination, the nominee cannot be appointed, and the Governor must
promptly nominate another person who meets requirements for such office.

If the Senate takes no action on a Governor's nomination during the legislative session or a
required nomination from the Governor is not received by the Senate during the legislative
session, the Governor must appoint a nominee to serve in the unfilled position and discharge
its duties after the legislative session until the nominee undergoes the Senate's advise and
consent process during the next legislative session (A.R.S. §§ 32-211, 32-311),

Provisions

1. Stipulates that during the confirmation process, if the Senate rejects the Governor's
nomination of an agency director, then the person is ineligible for other positions within
the state agency for which the person was nominated. (Sec. 1)

2. Makes technical changes. (Sec. 1)

The mission of the Office of Economic Opportunity (OEO) is to expand economic opportunities

for people in Arizona by leading the analysis and evaluation of Arizona's population and

the staff for AROC (A.R.S.§ 41-1046).

Statute prohibits state agencies from conducting rulemaking without prior written approval
of the Governor. State agencies may not adopt any new rule that would increase existing
regulatory burdens on the free exercise of property rights or the freedom to engage in lawful
business or occupation unless the rule reduces regulatory restraints or burdens, is necessary
to implement the law or is required by a final court order or decision (A.R.S. § 41-1038 et al.).

Provisions

1. Directs an agency to submit a proposed rule to OEO for review if the rule is estimated to
increase state regulatory costs by more than $100,000 within five years after
implementation. (Sec. 1)

2. Stipulates that if the OEO confirms estimated regulatory costs will increase by more than
$500,000 within five years after the proposed rule's implementation, the rule may not
become effective until the Legislature ratifies the proposed rule. (Sec. 1)

3. Instructs OEO to submit the proposed rule to AROC no later than 30 days before the next
regular legislative session. (Sec. 1)

4, Requires AROC to submit the proposed rule to the Legislature as soon as practicable.
(Sec. 1)

Authorizes any legislator to sponsor legislation to ratify the proposed rule, which is
exempt from provisions relating to the time and manner of agency rulemaking. (Sec. 1)
