The proposed bill, SB1120, amends existing laws regarding occupational regulations in Arizona. It introduces a requirement that both occupational associations and agencies with disciplinary authority can only investigate complaints or take disciplinary actions if the complainant has a substantial connection to the individual being complained about. This change aims to ensure that complaints are grounded in a meaningful relationship between the complainant and the subject of the complaint.

Under current law, there are no specific requirements regarding the relationship between complainants and the subjects of complaints, allowing for broader investigations. The new bill seeks to tighten this process, potentially reducing frivolous complaints and focusing enforcement actions on those with a legitimate stake in the matter. The bill is set to take effect on the general effective date, with no anticipated fiscal impact on the state General Fund.
