The proposed bill would amend current statutes by adding a new chapter to Title 1 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, specifically addressing patient rights in healthcare services. It would establish that patients receiving healthcare in Arizona have the right to care from health professionals who adhere to specific principles: acting in the patient's best interest, doing no harm, and ensuring that all medical decisions and procedures require informed consent, except in emergencies. This new language would be inserted into the statutes as outlined in the bill.

Additionally, the bill would define key terms such as "health professional," which retains its existing definition from section 32-3201, and introduces a new definition for "patient" as a human being. The current law remains unchanged, but the new provisions would enhance the rights of patients and clarify the responsibilities of healthcare providers in Arizona.
