technical correction; home health agencies
SB 1159 is a technical correction bill that amends the definitions within the Arizona Revised Statutes regarding dental professionals and practices. The legislation updates the legal descriptions for various roles, such as dental hygienists, assistants, and therapists, to ensure clarity in the state's dental regulations. By refining these terms, the bill aims to provide a more precise framework for how the state board of dental examiners oversees the industry. This change does not alter existing laws or create new requirements but rather clarifies the language used to describe licensed personnel and their duties.
