This bill proposes updates to section 41-1092.08 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, specifically regarding the finality of decisions made by nonhealth profession regulatory boards. Under the current law, the decision of the agency head is final unless certain conditions are met. The bill introduces new language that clarifies that decisions made by nonhealth profession regulatory boards are also considered final unless the individual regulated by such a board accepts the administrative law judge's decision.

Additionally, the bill modifies the appeal process for final administrative decisions. It specifies that, except for nonhealth profession regulatory boards, parties may appeal decisions in accordance with existing statutes, while also noting that if a hearing was not requested, the agency action is not subject to judicial review. The bill further mandates that the legislative council staff will prepare proposed legislation to align the Arizona Revised Statutes with the new provisions established by this act for future legislative consideration.
