technical correction; health services; monitoring

This bill corrects a technical error in an existing Arizona law regarding the Department of Health Services' oversight of alcohol and drug treatment programs. It clarifies that the department must set rules for approving facilities and referrals, create a standardized screening assessment, and enforce specific reporting requirements for these programs. The changes directly affect the state's health department and the facilities that provide substance abuse screening, education, and treatment services. By updating the statutory language, the bill ensures the department has clear authority to monitor and regulate these essential health services.
