technical correction; child hearing programs

SB 1196 is a technical correction bill amending Arizona Revised Statutes § 36-899.03. It revises the requirement for the director to develop rules governing standards and procedures for child hearing evaluation services. The bill clarifies that the director must "adopt" rules (correcting a prior drafting error) rather than "develop" them, streamlining the regulatory process. This procedural update affects how public health officials implement hearing evaluation programs for children but does not change service requirements or eligibility.
