This bill proposes to amend current statutes by adding a new chapter to Title 1 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, specifically addressing patient rights in healthcare services. The new provisions would grant patients the right to receive care from health professionals who adhere to specific principles: acting in the patient's best interest, doing no harm, and ensuring informed consent for medical decisions, except in emergencies. Additionally, the bill defines "health professional" in accordance with existing definitions in section 32-3201 and clarifies that "patient" refers to a human being.

The bill does not delete any existing language but rather supplements the current statutes with these new rights and definitions. This update aims to enhance patient protections and ensure that healthcare services in Arizona are delivered with a focus on the patient's well-being and informed participation in their care.
