This bill proposes updates to section 36-551 of the Arizona Revised Statutes concerning developmental disabilities. It introduces the term "Prader-Willi syndrome" and provides a definition for it, which describes the genetic disorder characterized by specific physical and cognitive traits. Additionally, the bill modifies the numbering of definitions related to psychological and service-related terms, ensuring that the definitions remain consistent and sequential.

The bill also removes several existing definitions, including those for "psychologist," "respite services," "responsible person," "service provider," "state operated service center," "subaverage general intellectual functioning," "substantial functional limitation," and "supervision." These deletions streamline the language of the statute, potentially allowing for clearer understanding and application of the law regarding developmental disabilities.
