Bill overview
This bill updates Arizona law regarding fingerprint clearance cards for certain health care facilities. Starting January 1, 2027, facilities like outpatient treatment centers, inpatient behavioral health facilities, and counseling facilities must require applicants, licensees, and owners to be U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents and possess a valid fingerprint clearance card. It also amends related statutes to clarify definitions and procedures for issuing these cards, particularly concerning individuals awaiting trial or convicted of certain offenses.
