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 in connection with the investigation, unless restricted by state or federal law.

Furthermore, the bill would make technical changes to the existing language, such as changing "of" to "after" in the context of petitioning the board regarding subpoenas. It would also clarify that documents cannot be released without a court order compelling their production, while ensuring that the complainant's right to access investigation-related documents is explicitly stated. Overall, these updates aim to enhance transparency in the investigation process while maintaining necessary confidentiality protections.
