The bill HB2739 proposes the repeal of the Board of Homeopathic and Integrated Medicine Examiners and transfers its powers and duties to the Naturopathic Physician's Medical Board. This includes the examination, licensing, and regulation of homeopathic physicians and medical assistants, which will now fall under the jurisdiction of the Naturopathic Board. Additionally, all remaining funds from the Board will be transferred to the Naturopathic Physician's Medical Board Fund.
The bill also includes the repeal of specific sections of the Arizona Revised Statutes related to the Board, as well as the directive for legislative council staff to prepare conforming legislation for the next legislative session. Overall, the changes streamline the regulatory framework by consolidating the oversight of homeopathic practices under the existing Naturopathic Board.
