psychologist board; complaint-related documents
HB 2441 modifies Arizona's psychologist licensing board procedures for handling complaint investigations. It requires the board to provide the person who filed a complaint with copies of all documents reviewed during an investigation (excluding privileged information), while keeping most investigation records confidential from the public. The bill also clarifies that client-therapist privilege does not apply during these investigations and establishes a 5-day window for challenging subpoenas. This directly affects psychologists under investigation, their clients (whose records may be reviewed), and complaint filers. The bill passed the legislature in April 2025 but was vetoed by the Governor on May 6, 2025.

MINOR
This bill updates the formatting and text of House Bill 2441 as it moves from the introduced version to the House engrossed version. The substantive legal content regarding the psychologist board's authority to investigate complaints, issue subpoenas, and handle confidential documents remains unchanged. The primary differences are formatting adjustments, capitalization corrections, and minor text standardization throughout the document.
TECHNICAL
Formatting and capitalization were corrected throughout the document, including standardizing 'THE BOARD'S' to 'the board's' and fixing inconsistent capitalization in subsection E.
Page headers and legislative metadata were updated to reflect the House Engrossed Version status rather than the Introduced Version.
Redundant reference title and introductory text from the introduced version were removed as part of the engrossed formatting process.
