This bill proposes updates to section 32-1421 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, specifically regarding the activities that do not require a doctor's medical judgment. It retains the current provisions while adding new language to clarify and expand the scope of permissible activities. Notably, it introduces a new provision allowing individuals to provide basic first aid in good faith and without compensation, contingent upon obtaining consent from the injured person or, if the person is under fifteen, from a parent or legal guardian. Additionally, it mandates that if the injured person is under fifteen, law enforcement must be notified of their condition.

The bill also refines existing language by replacing "doctor's" with "doctor of medicine's" for clarity and consistency. It defines "basic first aid" to include specific actions such as cleaning minor cuts, treating burns, applying bandages, and providing fluids for heat stress, as well as administering antiseptics and nonprescription pain-relieving medication. Overall, these updates aim to enhance the legal framework surrounding medical practices and first aid provisions in Arizona.
