The proposed bill, if enacted, would amend the current requirements for becoming a registered sanitarian in Arizona by reducing the minimum years of employment required from five years to three years for both sanitarian aides and military service. Additionally, it would revise the educational requirements, changing the stipulation from 30 semester hours in natural sciences to 30 hours in subjects relevant to the role of a sanitarian, as approved by the Sanitarians Council.

Furthermore, the bill includes technical changes to the language of the current statute, such as updating the terminology regarding council members and their representation. It also modifies the fee structure for applications and renewals, specifying a nonrefundable application fee of $25 and an annual renewal fee of $10. Overall, these updates aim to streamline the process for individuals seeking registration as sanitarians while ensuring that the qualifications remain relevant to the profession.
