This bill proposes to update current statutes regarding the Arizona Board of Respiratory Care Examiners by continuing the Board's existence for an additional six years, retroactively effective from July 1, 2025, until July 1, 2031. It will repeal the existing statute, A.R.S. § 41-3025.04, which currently outlines the Board's termination date, and instead establish a new termination date for the Board on July 1, 2031. Additionally, the bill includes a provision that will repeal Title 32, chapter 35, and this section on January 1, 2032.

The bill also includes a purpose statement affirming the legislature's intent to continue the Board to ensure the regulation of respiratory care for public health, safety, and welfare. The effective date of the new provisions will be the general effective date, with the retroactive provisions as specified. Overall, the bill aims to ensure the ongoing oversight of respiratory care practitioners in Arizona while updating the legal framework governing the Board's operations.
