This bill proposes updates to section 36-446.14 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, specifically concerning assisted living facilities and referral agencies. The bill introduces new language that clarifies the terminology used throughout the statute, replacing instances of "assisted living facility" and "assisted living home" with the consistent term "assisted living." Additionally, it mandates that referral agencies provide documentation confirming they are not listed on the adult protective services registry, which is a new requirement not present in the current law.

Furthermore, the bill establishes new insurance requirements for referral agencies, necessitating both commercial general liability and professional liability insurance with specified minimum coverage amounts. The existing provisions regarding civil penalties for violations remain intact, but the section label is updated from F to G to accommodate the new insertions. Overall, these changes aim to enhance clarity and accountability within the assisted living referral process.
