The bill proposes amendments to section 32-1238 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, which pertains to dentistry. It seeks to modify the conditions under which a restricted permit may be issued by the board. Currently, a restricted permit can be issued without examination or fee for up to one year or until June 30th, whichever comes first, and may be renewed at the board's discretion following certain rules. The new bill language removes the board's discretion in renewing the permit and mandates that the board may renew a restricted permit for periods not exceeding one year, aligning the renewal process with the issuance process. Additionally, the bill removes the term "or regulations" to clarify that renewals must follow rules not inconsistent with the chapter.
