The proposed bill, if enacted, would amend current statutes regarding the confidentiality of documents associated with investigations conducted by the Arizona Board of Psychologist Examiners. Under current law, documents related to such investigations are not open to the public and cannot be released without a court order. The bill would modify this by allowing the complainant to receive copies of all documents reviewed by the Board during the investigation, unless restricted by state or federal law.
Additionally, the bill makes several technical changes to the language of the statute, including replacing references to "its authorized agents" with "the board's authorized agents" for clarity. It also updates the timeline for petitioning the Board regarding subpoenas, changing "of" to "after" to clarify the timeframe for action. Overall, the bill aims to enhance transparency in the investigation process while maintaining necessary legal protections.
