The proposed bill amends section 32-3213 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, updating the requirements for health professionals in advertising their services. Under the new law, health professionals must use only the appropriate titles as specified in the relevant statutes governing their profession. Additionally, the bill clarifies that violations of this section will be subject to enforcement by the respective health profession regulatory board, and if such violations also constitute unlawful practices, the attorney general is empowered to investigate and take action as outlined in title 44, chapter 10, article 7.
Furthermore, the definition of "advertisement" is expanded to include various forms of promotional materials such as business cards, identification badges, and letterhead, while maintaining that it does not encompass materials created by regulated entities that provide information about network providers. The bill removes the previous definition of "advertisement," streamlining the language and ensuring clarity in the types of promotional activities covered under this statute.
