Authority: A.R.S. § 16-956(A)(7)

Editor’s Note: The Office of the Secretary of State, Administrative Rules Division, complied with its legal obligation to publish the Notice of Rule Expiration filed for Sections R2-20-109 and R2-20-111 under A.R.S. § 41-1011(C) and 41-1056(G) and (J)(2) in Supp. 17-2, version 2. As a courtesy to the Commission, the Office also published R2-20-109 and R2-20-111 as adopted and made by the Commission because it stated the Governor’s Regulatory Review Council did not have the authority to file such a notice. On December 14, 2017, the Commission “re-adopted” rules in the disputed Sections of R2-20-109 and R2-20-111; therefore, our Division has removed the expired rule Sections as published in Supp. 17-2, version 2. The Office will not interpret the legality of any actions made by the Commission or the Council as to whether the rules in R2-20-109 and R2-20-111 were effective at 23 A.A.R. 1761 or expired at 23 A.A.R. 1757 between the dates of June 7, and December 14, 2017. Those interested in that issue should consult counsel.

Editor’s Note: The Citizen’s Clean Elections Commission has filed a Notice of Public Information with the Office of the Secretary of State (Office) stating the Governor’s Regulatory Review Council (G.R.R.C.) “cannot effectively repeal the rules” in this Chapter. The Notice also states, “persons subject to the Act and Rules are advised that it is the Commission’s position [sic] that an action of G.R.R.C…. cannot relieve them of their obligations under the Act and Rules.” [published at 23 A.A.R. 1761]

Editor’s Note: The Office of the Secretary of State publishes all Code Chapters on white paper (Supp. 02-1).

Editor’s Note: This Chapter contains rules that were adopted under an exemption from the rulemaking provisions of the Arizona Administrative Procedure Act (A.R.S. Title 41, Chapter 6) pursuant to A.R.S. § 16-956(D). Exemption from A.R.S. Title 41, Chapter 6 means that these rules were not certified by the Attorney General or the Governor’s Regulatory Review Council. Because this Chapter contains rules that are exempt from the regular rulemaking process, the Chapter is printed on blue paper. The rules affected by this exemption appear throughout this Chapter.
