AZ HB2712

Amends Arizona Revised Statutes section 38-431.03 to modify rules governing executive sessions for public bodies.

Requires that discussion or consideration of goals and objectives used to evaluate officers, appointees, or employees must occur in a public meeting rather than an executive session.

Limits legal advice discussions in executive sessions to only the specific purposes outlined in paragraphs 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 of the statute.

Maintains existing confidentiality protections for executive session minutes and discussions, with disclosure limited to public body members, affected employees, the auditor general, and law enforcement investigating violations.
