DCS information; legislator review; location
HB 2405 allows Arizona state legislators to request and review Department of Child Safety (DCS) records for legislative oversight purposes. The bill establishes a formal process: legislators must submit a written request to their chamber's presiding officer, who forwards it to DCS within five days, and DCS must arrange a secure review within ten days at a designated location. Legislators may discuss the information only with other legislators but cannot disclose it further without a court order or public record. This change directly affects legislators, DCS staff, and the transparency of child safety case reviews, while maintaining strict confidentiality requirements.
