This bill proposes several updates to current statutes regarding licensing requirements in Arizona. It amends section 32-721 by removing the existing requirement for applicants to meet the criteria outlined in section 41-1080, which is also being repealed. The bill introduces new criteria for applicants, including that they must be at least eighteen years old and have not engaged in conduct that would warrant disciplinary action under section 32-741. Additionally, it clarifies that applicants must meet the requirements of specific subsections of the amended section.

Furthermore, the bill establishes that agencies cannot require documentation of citizenship or alien status from individuals applying for a license. It allows agencies to accept a federal tax identification number in place of a social security number when required for licensing purposes. The bill also defines key terms such as "agency" and "license" to ensure clarity in its application. Overall, these changes aim to streamline the licensing process and reduce barriers for applicants.
