Arizona Administrative Code Research

The office of the Secretary of State publishes the Arizona Administrative Register (A.A.R.) monthly. It includes rulemaking Notices, substantive policy notices, deadlines, the names of agency ombudsmen, executive orders, and other notices related to state government. Agency filings regarding recent rulemaking include explanations of the reason for the rules, guidance documents, and notices of oral proceedings and other opportunities for public comment.

When researching the A.A.C., it is good practice to check the A.A.R. for amendments and pending proceedings related to the rules.
