AzNA tracks bills based on our Public Policy Agenda. This agenda focuses on the health of all Arizonans and the professional practice and work environment of our Arizona nurses.
March 19, 2018-
The legislative session continues to roll along. Last week:
This week there was a flurry of activity around SB1470 sunrise process; health professionals; modifications which proposed substantial changes to the sunrise process- the process used to increase scope of practice as well as license new professional groups.
Various health professional groups were divided on this contentious bill. AzNA provided the voice of reason and testified at the committee hearing on our Neutral position. As a result, we were asked to draft a strike everything amendment. Stakeholders on all sides hoped our neutral position would provide common ground during the ensuing process, which it did.
After several drafts and meetings, an agreement has been reached. Because the original SB1470 language already passed out of the Senate, the House will now assign the amendment to a new bill number, rendering SB1470 dead. We will let you know the new number of the strike everything bill as soon as it is assigned.
HB2197 health professionals; workforce data advanced further in the Senate, sailing through two committees with unanimous votes in both. It will now proceed for final votes on the Senate floor. Once it passes the senate floor vote it heads to the governor’s desk to be signed into law.
Are you wondering why this bill keeps getting passed unanimously? Apparently, we are not the only ones concerned about the future supply of our healthcare workers! A 2016 local study identified a shortfall of physicians and nurses while also identifying important healthcare delivery trends emerging in AZ. It also helps that this bill has no financial commitment attached to it
