SB1634 amends Arizona Revised Statutes relating to nonhealth profession regulatory boards. The bill stipulates that the decision of a nonhealth profession regulatory board is the final administrative decision unless the individual regulated by the board accepts the administrative law judge's (ALJ) decision as the final administrative decision. This change removes the requirement for the Office of Administrative Hearings (OAH) to certify the ALJ's decision as final for nonhealth profession regulatory boards.

Additionally, the bill excludes nonhealth profession regulatory boards from the authorization for a party to appeal a final administrative decision for judicial review. It also mandates the Legislative Council to prepare proposed conforming legislation for consideration in the Fifty-Seventh Legislature, First Regular Session, to align the Arizona Revised Statutes with the provisions of this act. The bill becomes effective on the general effective date.
