health boards; licensure decisions; investigation
HB 2660 amends Arizona's chiropractic licensure laws to expand the grounds for disciplinary action against chiropractors. It adds specific prohibitions, including deceptive advertising (e.g., advertising "free" services without disclosing what's included), billing for unprovided services, and soliciting vulnerable patients (like accident victims within 15 days) without proper consent. The bill also strengthens the board's investigation powers, allowing it to require medical/mental exams during probes and issue emergency license suspensions if public safety is at immediate risk. These changes directly affect licensed chiropractors in Arizona by increasing accountability for conduct impacting patient safety and transparency in billing and advertising.

MINOR
The bill was transitioned from the House to the Senate version, resulting in minor formatting adjustments and the removal of a legislative oversight mechanism that would have allowed the Attorney General to investigate regulatory boards failing to meet specific procedural requirements within 30 days. The core disciplinary powers for the Board of Chiropractic Examiners and the Board of Naturopathic Medicine remain largely unchanged, though some text regarding the definition of 'unprofessional conduct' and specific procedural notices was slightly restructured for clarity.
Scope change
The bill's scope remains focused on regulating chiropractic and naturopathic medicine, but the Senate version removes a specific provision that mandated an Attorney General investigation if a regulatory board failed to follow certain appeal procedures within 30 days.
ENFORCEMENT
Deleted a section requiring the Attorney General to investigate regulatory boards that fail to fulfill specific procedural requirements within 30 days, removing a layer of legislative oversight over board actions.
TECHNICAL
Adjusted the title and version headers from 'House Engrossed' to 'Senate Engrossed' to reflect the bill's progression through the legislative process.
Reformatted several sections regarding board disciplinary actions and definitions to improve text flow and remove redundant line breaks without altering the legal substance.
