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 informed consent is obtained for medical decisions and procedures, except in emergencies.

Additionally, the bill would define key terms, including "health professional," which aligns with existing definitions in section 32-3201, and introduce a definition for "patient" as a human being. This new language aims to clarify and reinforce the rights of patients within the healthcare system, ensuring that their care is conducted ethically and with their consent.
