On April 10, 2019, Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey signed HB 2569 into law. The new law establishes reciprocity for occupational and professional license or certificate holders who come to Arizona from out-of-state.
In a press release, Ducey celebrated the law as the first of its kind in the nation and mentioned nursing among the occupations in this quote:
“There’s dignity in all work,” said Governor Ducey. “And we know that whether you make your living as a plumber, a barber, a nurse or anything else, you don’t lose your skills simply because you moved here. The bill we signed today protects public health and safety while eliminating unnecessary and costly red tape.”
In an interview, Robin Schaeffer, Executive Director of the Arizona Nurses Association, clarifies what the bill means for nurses in Arizona.

Arizona Child and Adolescent Survivor Initiative, part of the Family Violence Institute at NAU, is excited to offer several volunteer opportunities to community members so that more can be a part of the mission to serve survivors of intimate partner homicide. Volunteers are critical components to the team. Over 3,000 children per year in the United States lose a parent to intimate partner homicide. These child survivors often need mentorship from adults who can be there for them. Research shows that mentors are important to a child survivor’s re-stabilization and healing. You can be a part of the process. For more information: https://nau.edu/family-violence-institute/acasi-volunteers/
