SB1163 is a bill that expands the eligibility for licensure as a homeopathic physician in Arizona to include acupuncturists, physical therapists, naturopaths, chiropractors, individuals trained in emergency medical care by the U.S. Armed Forces, and those who complete an approved program. The bill mandates the Board of Homeopathic and Integrated Medicine Examiners to award licenses to qualified applicants and to list approved training programs. It also redefines professional titles, making it a felony to practice without a license, and requires the Board to collaborate annually with the Acupuncture Board of Examiners on financial matters.

The bill proposes administrative changes, such as the Acupuncture Board's executive director also serving as the executive director for the Board of Homeopathic and Integrated Medicine Examiners. It updates medical practice descriptions, redefines terms like "minor surgery," and restructures board roles and compensation. The bill clarifies language, replaces terms for consistency, and revises administrative penalties, including setting fines for non-compliance. It also outlines the use of professional titles for licensed individuals and modifies procedures for disciplinary actions and hearings.
