attorney general; legal counsel; exemption

Summary

The proposal amends the Arizona Revised Statutes to give the attorney general exclusive authority to provide legal counsel for state departments, schools, and local governments, while listing twelve agencies that could still hire their own lawyers. It also lets the attorney general represent political subdivisions in antitrust and conflict‑of‑interest lawsuits and to settle claims, and it requires the AG to publish a periodic agency handbook. The measure was vetoed by the governor.
