AI Summary

  • Amends Arizona law to require subpoenas for licensed health care providers be served at least 14 days before the date of appearance, with parties making reasonable good faith efforts to accommodate the provider's patient care schedule.

  • Modifies service of subpoena requirements by clarifying that certificates of service and return cards "are" (rather than "is") returned by the addressee for first class mail service.

  • Adds language specifying that "the" addressee (rather than just "addressee") receives certified mail service for subpoenas.

  • Extends protections to licensed health care providers summoned to testify in criminal prosecutions or grand jury investigations in other states, ensuring that Arizona state privileges, defenses and protections apply to the witness regardless of the requesting state's laws.
