The bill proposes the repeal of Arkansas Code Title 17, Chapter 98, which pertains to the registration of disease intervention specialists. This repeal eliminates all provisions related to the registration process, qualifications, training, and penalties associated with practicing as a disease intervention specialist. Specifically, it removes definitions, exemptions, and the framework for examinations and certifications that were previously required for individuals in this profession.

By repealing this chapter, the bill effectively discontinues the regulatory oversight that was in place for disease intervention specialists, including the standards for education and experience that were necessary for registration. This change may impact the way disease intervention services are provided in the state, as it removes the formal structure that governed the qualifications and practices of individuals in this field.
