ALERT: (Jan. 24, 2025)
Please be advised that we will be making phone and Internet technology changes on the afternoon of Friday, January 24th. You may experience an interruption of service. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding as we work to improve our systems.
We make government more responsive to the people of Arizona.
The role of the Ombudsman Office is to help people who are having a problem with an Arizona state agency, or who have a public records or open meeting law dispute with a state or local agency. We are an independent, apolitical agency that works directly for the State Legislature.
