Substantive Policy Statements

Substantive Policy Statements

Substantive policy statements are advisory only.  A substantive policy statement does not include procedural documents that affect only the internal procedures of the agency.

Also, a substantive policy statement does not impose additional requirements or penalties on regulated parties, nor do they include confidential information or rules made in accordance with the Arizona Administrative Procedures Act.

If you believe that a substantive policy statement does impose additional requirements or penalties on regulated parties, you may petition the agency under A.R.S. § 41-1033 for a review of the statement.
