abortion; providers; waiting period; ultrasound
HB 2530 amends Arizona's nursing board statute to clarify that the board cannot regulate the scope of practice for abortion services (as defined in ARS §36-2151). The bill primarily updates the board's authority to adopt rules for nursing education, licensing, disciplinary actions, and administrative functions. It does not include any provisions requiring waiting periods or ultrasounds for abortion procedures. This bill focuses on defining the nursing board's regulatory boundaries, not on changing abortion access policies.
