If enacted, this bill would amend current statutes by adding a new section to Title 36, Chapter 4, Article 1 of the Arizona Revised Statutes. The new section, 36-420.06, would explicitly allow assisted living homes and assisted living centers to provide hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) to their residents, thereby expanding the range of medical services these facilities can offer.
The bill does not delete any existing language from current law but introduces this new provision to clarify and authorize the provision of HBOT in assisted living settings. This change aims to enhance the care options available to residents in these facilities without imposing any anticipated fiscal impact on the state General Fund.
