Bill > HB2312

This bill addresses the continuation and eventual termination of the Arizona State Board of Dental Examiners. Specifically, the bill repeals an existing section of state law (Section 41-3025.09) and adds a new section (41-3031.09) that establishes a sunset date for the dental board. Under the new provisions, the State Board of Dental Examiners will automatically terminate on July 1, 2031, with Title 32, Chapter 11 (which likely contains regulations related to dental practice) and the newly added section being repealed on January 1, 2032. The purpose of the bill, as stated in Section 3, is to continue the board's operations to promote safe and professional dental practice in Arizona. The bill's provisions will apply retroactively from and after July 1, 2025, which means the termination timeline and related changes will take effect from that date. This type of legislation is common for state professional licensing boards, which periodically undergo legislative review to ensure their continued relevance and effectiveness.
