If enacted, this bill would update current statutes by continuing the Arizona Regulatory Board of Physician Assistants for an additional two years, extending its termination date to July 1, 2028. The bill would repeal the existing statute that mandates the Board's termination on July 1, 2026, and instead establish a new termination date of January 1, 2029, for both the Board and related provisions in Title 32, chapter 25.

Additionally, the bill includes a purpose statement emphasizing the Board's role in promoting the safe and professional practice of healthcare tasks performed by physician assistants. It also retroactively applies the changes to July 1, 2026, ensuring that the Board's continuation is recognized from that date. The bill would make necessary conforming changes to the existing legal framework to reflect these updates.
