The proposed bill seeks to amend section 32-122.03 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, specifically updating the requirements for obtaining a license, registration, or certification in the technical registration profession. Under the new law, the requirement for a valid license issued by another state or territory will be expanded to include a specification that it must be "in the profession in which registration is sought." Additionally, the bill introduces a new requirement for a valid record from the applicable profession's national council, certifying that the individual meets the council's standards for certification, model law designation, or mutual recognition agreement.
Furthermore, the bill removes the previous stipulation that required four years of experience following licensure, registration, or certification by another jurisdiction. This change aims to streamline the process for individuals seeking registration in Arizona by focusing on their qualifications and certifications rather than the duration of their experience in another jurisdiction. Overall, the bill modernizes the criteria for professional registration, enhancing clarity and accessibility for applicants.
