AI Summary

This bill amends multiple sections of Arizona law related to nursing care institution administrators and assisted living facility managers, focusing on updating definitions, qualifications, board powers, and administrative procedures. Key provisions include adding an educational requirement for nursing care institution administrators (an associate degree in nursing or related health profession), expanding the board's definition of "felony involving violence or financial fraud" to include a comprehensive list of criminal offenses, and granting the board's executive director new delegated authorities such as dismissing complaints, issuing letters of concern, and entering into consent agreements. The bill also modifies rules around temporary licenses, allowing one additional 60-day renewal, and provides more detailed procedures for investigating and addressing potential misconduct, including a new formal interview process before potential disciplinary actions. Additionally, the bill updates fingerprinting requirements, extends license provisions for military members serving on active duty, and allows the board to impose civil penalties up to $10,000 for violations. The changes aim to enhance oversight, protect public safety, and provide more structured administrative processes for nursing care and assisted living facility management in Arizona.
