If enacted, this bill would update current statutes by continuing the Arizona Board of Respiratory Care Examiners for an additional six years, extending its termination date from July 1, 2025, to July 1, 2031. The bill would also repeal the existing statute at section 41-3025.04, which currently governs the Board's termination, and replace it with new provisions that establish the Board's continued existence and regulatory authority over respiratory care practices.

Additionally, the bill includes a provision that the Board and related statutes will be repealed on January 1, 2032, ensuring a clear timeline for the Board's operations and oversight. The legislation would take effect retroactively from July 1, 2025, thereby maintaining the Board's authority without interruption. Overall, the bill aims to enhance public health, safety, and welfare by ensuring the Board's continued regulation of respiratory care practitioners.
