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 will repeal section 41-3025.11, which currently outlines the Board's termination date, and add section 41-3031.05 to establish the new termination date. The bill also includes a provision that the Board will be repealed on January 1, 2032, ensuring that the Board's regulatory functions are maintained for the public's health, safety, and welfare. Additionally, the bill includes a purpose statement and specifies that the provisions will be effective retroactively to July 1, 2025. This means that the Board will continue to operate without interruption, allowing it to fulfill its responsibilities in overseeing the practice of osteopathic medicine in Arizona.
