The bill HB2211 proposes to continue the Occupational Safety and Health Review Board for an additional eight years, retroactively effective from July 1, 2024, until July 1, 2032. It also includes a provision that the Review Board will terminate on January 1, 2033, and repeals certain sections of the Arizona Revised Statutes related to the Review Board. The bill aims to ensure that the Review Board remains operational to handle administrative appeals concerning matters from the Industrial Commission of Arizona.
In contrast to current law, which does not specify a termination date for the Review Board, this bill explicitly sets a termination date and repeals existing statutes that may conflict with this new timeline. The bill also introduces a purpose statement, clarifying the intent behind the continuation of the Review Board. Overall, the changes reflect a structured approach to the Review Board's future, ensuring its functions are maintained while establishing a clear endpoint.
