HB 2445 Arizona House · 57th Legislature - Second Regular Session

task order contracts; website; posting

HB 2445, titled the "Government Transparency Act," requires Arizona cities, towns, counties, school districts, and state agencies to post task order contracts online. These contracts - used for ongoing services or supplies over time - must include the total dollar amount, contractor name, service description, and contract length, with no redaction allowed for these details. Contractors may still redact personal or proprietary information beyond these four required elements. The bill applies to all public entities using this type of contract structure across Arizona.

MODERATE

The bill was reformatted from a standard introduced draft into a House Engrossed version, which includes minor capitalization corrections and the addition of specific statutory markers (START_STATUTE/END_STATUTE) used for official filing. The substantive legal text regarding task order contract transparency remains identical to the original version.

TECHNICAL

The document header was updated to reflect the 'House Engrossed' status with the date 03/09/2026, replacing the introductory sponsor list and session details.

Capitalization in the summary of amended statutes was standardized (e.g., changing 'article 8' to 'ARTICLE 1' in the summary line).

Special markers labeled 'START_STATUTE' and 'END_STATUTE' were inserted around the specific legal text for each section to facilitate automated processing.

Minor formatting adjustments were made to the statutory text, such as changing 'CITY OR TOWN' to 'city or town' and removing extra spacing between words.
