Maddy summarySB 1018 amends state law to update how the Arizona State Board of Equalization calculates spending limits for school districts and other political subdivisions. The bill requires the commission to determine these limits annually based on population growth and changes in the GDP price deflator, which measures inflation. It also provides specific formulas for setting limits in new cities, towns, or counties that are created or divided. By adjusting these calculations, the legislation ensures that spending caps reflect current economic conditions and demographic shifts rather than fixed historical figures.

Maddy summaryThis Arizona bill establishes a formal licensure system for anesthesiologist assistants, allowing them to legally practice under the supervision of a licensed anesthesiologist. To obtain a license, applicants must graduate from an accredited program, pass a national certification exam, and pay required fees, with licenses valid for two years. The law defines the specific medical tasks these assistants can perform, such as developing anesthesia care plans, evaluating patients, and administering medications, while ensuring a supervising anesthesiologist remains immediately available to intervene if necessary.
