The proposed bill would amend current statutes related to the Arizona Board of Psychologist Examiners by updating the language regarding the handling of documents during investigations. Specifically, it would replace the phrase "its authorized agents" with "the board's authorized agents" for clarity. Additionally, it would modify the confidentiality provisions by stating that while documents associated with an investigation are generally not open to the public, the complainant is entitled to receive copies of all documents reviewed by the board, except where restricted by state or federal law.
Furthermore, the bill would make technical changes to the existing language, including the removal of certain phrases and the addition of clarifying language. For instance, it would change "of" to "after" in the context of petitioning the board regarding subpoenas, and it would specify that documents cannot be released without a court order compelling their production. Overall, these updates aim to enhance transparency for complainants while maintaining the confidentiality of sensitive investigation materials.
