Senate Bill 1032 Summary

• Adds spina bifida to the list of conditions that qualify as a developmental disability under Arizona Revised Statutes Section 36-551.

• Defines spina bifida as a neural tube defect occurring when a person's neural tube fails to develop or close properly before birth, with severity depending on factors including the size of the spinal opening and location on the spine.

• Renumbers subsequent definitions in the statute (formerly definitions 41-44 become definitions 42-45) to accommodate the new spina bifida definition.
