AHCCCS; remote work; prohibition

SB 1115 prohibits Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (AHCCCS) employees from working remotely as their primary arrangement. The bill directly affects all AHCCCS employees by requiring them to report to the agency's physical worksite regularly, rather than working from home or other remote locations. It defines "work remotely" as having a primary worksite outside the agency's location and mandates that employees not be expected to work remotely on a regular basis. This policy change applies specifically to AHCCCS, Arizona's Medicaid program, and amends the state statutes governing the agency.
