This bill proposes to amend the Arizona Revised Statutes by adding a new section, 41-194.02, which outlines the process for the attorney general to investigate actions taken by health profession regulatory boards at the request of legislative members. The new provisions require the attorney general to investigate allegations of violations of state law, rules, or the Arizona Constitution. If a conflict of interest arises, the attorney general must refer the complaint to a county attorney, ensuring impartiality through a random selection process.

Additionally, the bill mandates that the attorney general or the county attorney must produce a written report of their findings within thirty days of the investigation and share it with various legislative leaders and the governor. If a violation is found, the joint legislative budget committee is tasked with reviewing the report within ninety days and making budgetary recommendations to the legislature. The bill also clarifies that "health profession regulatory board" refers to the definition provided in section 32-3201.
