This bill proposes to update current statutes regarding the Arizona Board of Osteopathic Examiners in Medicine and Surgery by continuing the Board's existence for an additional six years, until July 1, 2031. Specifically, it includes the continuation of the Arizona board of osteopathic examiners in medicine and surgery to regulate the practice of osteopathic medicine for the public health, safety, and welfare, and states that the Board terminates on July 1, 2031.

Furthermore, the bill includes a retroactive provision, making Sections 1 and 2 effective retroactively to July 1, 2025.
