This bill proposes to amend the Arizona Revised Statutes by adding a new section to title 41, chapter 57, article 1, which will now be titled "STATE AGENCIES generally" instead of "VACCINATION STATUS." This change reflects a broader focus on state agencies rather than solely on vaccination issues.
Additionally, the bill stipulates that any individual serving as the chief medical officer for a state agency must hold an active medical license in Arizona, as governed by title 32, chapters 13 or 17. This requirement aims to ensure that state agencies are led by qualified medical professionals, enhancing the integrity and effectiveness of public health leadership within these agencies.
