This bill proposes to repeal section 41-3025.11 of the Arizona Revised Statutes and introduces a new section, 41-3031.05, which establishes that the Arizona board of osteopathic examiners in medicine and surgery will terminate on July 1, 2031. Additionally, it specifies that title 32, chapter 17, along with this new section, will be repealed on January 1, 2032. The bill also reaffirms the legislature's commitment to continue the board's function of regulating osteopathic medicine for public health, safety, and welfare, as outlined in section 41-2955, subsection B.

The changes will take effect retroactively from July 1, 2025, ensuring that the new provisions are applied as if they had been in place since that date. Overall, the bill updates the current statutes by removing outdated language and establishing a clear timeline for the board's operations and eventual dissolution.
