AZ SB1023

Amends Arizona's sunrise process for regulating health professions by removing provisions that allowed applicant groups to propose increases to the scope of practice of existing health professions.

Adds a new definition of "increase the scope of practice" as engaging in conduct beyond the authority granted to a health profession by law.

Requires applicant groups proposing scope increases to submit written reports to legislative committees of reference, with copies sent to the relevant regulatory board for review and comment.

Repeals section 32-3106, which previously established the sunrise process review criteria (the bill references but does not detail this section's contents).

Modifies the applicability clause to exclude regulatory entities and scope increases legislatively enacted before the bill's effective date from the sunrise process requirements.
