The bill SB1120 amends Arizona Revised Statutes by adding new provisions that affect how occupational associations and agencies handle complaints and disciplinary actions. The new language stipulates that an occupational association or agency with disciplinary authority can only investigate a complaint and take disciplinary or enforcement action if the complainant has a "substantial nexus" with the person who is the subject of the complaint. This change aims to ensure that there is a significant connection between the complainant and the individual being complained about before any action is taken.
The bill also includes a strike-everything amendment, which replaces the original text of the bill with new content. The fiscal impact of this legislation on the state General Fund is anticipated to be none. The bill is set to become effective on the general effective date.
