Still unclear: Whether media can access other parts of House
Leaders of the Arizona House of Representatives announced on Tuesday that media will be allowed to access the floor for the rest of this session without having to undergo a background check.
This reverses a policy that was put in place Thursday by House Speaker David Gowan, which required reporters and other non-staff members to undergo a screening before being allowed access to secure areas, including the House floor and hallways leading to legislators’ offices.
