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by removing the existing requirement that applicants must meet the criteria outlined in section 41-1080, which is being repealed entirely.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

Additionally, the bill introduces new provisions that prohibit agencies from requiring documentation of citizenship or alien status for license applications. It allows agencies to accept a federal tax identification number in place of a social security number when required. The bill defines "agency" and "license" to encompass any state or local entity that issues licenses necessary for business operations or service provision. These changes aim to streamline the licensing process and reduce barriers for applicants.
