This bill proposes updates to the current statutes governing the Arizona Board of Osteopathic Examiners in Medicine and Surgery by increasing the number of full-time equivalent (FTE) positions from 10.0 to 15.0. Additionally, it raises the lump sum appropriation for the board from $1,394,300 to $1,789,000. These changes aim to enhance the board's operational capacity and financial resources.

Furthermore, the bill mandates that the five new FTE positions be specifically allocated to bolster the board's investigative and licensing capabilities. This includes prioritizing investigations and processing licensure applications, thereby improving the efficiency and effectiveness of the board's functions.
