This bill proposes updates to section 32-2203 of the Arizona Revised Statutes concerning veterinarians. It changes the term "chairman" to "chairperson" to promote gender-neutral language. Additionally, it modifies the reporting requirements by removing the word "annual," indicating that the report may not necessarily be required every year.
The bill maintains the current requirement for the chairperson of the board to report to the governor by October 1, including a summary of licensing actions and a financial statement for the previous fiscal year. It also preserves the provision allowing board members to submit separate reports with their comments on the board's activities. Overall, the bill aims to modernize the language and clarify the reporting frequency without altering the essential content of the current law.
