This bill proposes to amend Arizona Revised Statutes by adding section 30-682, which would allow the use of particle accelerators for treating human diseases under general supervision in counties with populations under four hundred thousand or for critical access hospitals. The bill outlines specific requirements for registrants, including the establishment of written protocols for radiation application, annual reviews of these protocols, and documentation of such reviews. It also mandates that radiation therapy technologists adhere to these protocols and that authorized users observe and document the technologists' performance every six months.

Additionally, the bill defines key terms such as "authorized user," "general supervision," "radiation therapy technologist," "registrant," and "special procedure." It emphasizes the need for registrants to develop policies to monitor the performance of procedures and the quality of patient care. The act is classified as an emergency measure, allowing it to take effect immediately upon becoming law.
