AZ HB2345

Amends Arizona Revised Statutes section 32-2234 to require the Arizona State Veterinary Medical Examining Board to provide written notice to persons who filed complaints if the board conducts a meeting or holds a hearing.

Notice to complaint filers must state that they may bring an attorney to the meeting or hearing.

Maintains existing provisions allowing the board to conduct informal interviews, issue formal hearing notices, and take disciplinary actions including censure, probation, temporary suspension of up to 30 days, or civil penalties up to $1,000.

Preserves the board's authority to order summary suspension of licenses in emergency situations and requires notice to licensees of their right to a formal hearing within 60 days.

Retains record retention requirements: complaint files kept for at least 10 years, and files with disciplinary action taken kept for at least 25 years.
