Bill > HB2315

This bill continues the operations of the Board of Respiratory Care Examiners in Arizona, extending its regulatory authority through July 1, 2031, with a scheduled automatic termination and repeal date. Specifically, the bill repeals an existing statute (Section 41-3025.04) and adds a new section (41-3031.03) that establishes a sunset date for the board. The board will automatically terminate on July 1, 2031, with a full repeal of its governing statutes on January 1, 2032. The purpose of this bill is to ensure continued oversight of respiratory care professionals to protect public health, safety, and welfare by maintaining the board's regulatory functions. The bill's provisions are retroactively effective from July 1, 2025, which means the changes will apply as if they were in effect from that date. This type of legislation is a routine "sunset review" that periodically reassesses the necessity and effectiveness of state regulatory boards, ensuring they remain relevant and focused on their core mission of public protection.
