The Arizona Request Audit of the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System Measure (2026) may be on the ballot in Arizona as a legislatively referred state statute on November 3, 2026.
The measure would require the joint legislative budget committee director to order an audit of the Arizona health care cost containment system.[1] The audit would span the three years preceding the audit order. After the audit, the director and the Arizona health care cost containment system would be required to negotiate settlements for any discovered improper payments within 90 days. Any money recovered from the audit would be deposited into the state's general fund.[1]
