Health Profession
A.R.S. § 32-3103 restricts regulation of any unregulated health profession except to protect the public interest and establishes a profession will be regulated only if: 1) there is evidence of harm or endangerment to public health, safety or welfare; 2) the public needs and will benefit from an assurance of initial and continuing professional ability; and 3) the public cannot be effectively protected by other means in a more cost-beneficial manner.
To initiate the sunrise application process, a health professional group must submit a written report to the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives by November 1 explaining the factors prescribed in A.R.S. § 32-3105 or 32-3106. The health committee of the House of Representatives and the health and human services committee of the Senate, or their respective successor committees, may conduct informational hearings and may take public comment on the written report before the legislative session begins. The committees must study the written report and may take public comment at the informational hearings but cannot vote on whether to accept or reject the report. A health professional group may seek to introduce legislation regardless of comments from the informational hearings.
Non-Health Profession
A.R.S. § 32-4401 restricts regulation of any non-health profession except to protect the public interest and establishes a profession will be regulated only if: 1) an unregulated practice can clearly harm the public health, safety or welfare; 2) the public benefit of the regulation clearly exceeds the costs for consumers, businesses and individuals; 3) the public needs and will benefit from an assurance of initial and continuing professional ability; and 4) the public cannot be effectively protected by private certification or other alternatives.
A non-health professional group must submit a written report to the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives by September 1 explaining the factors in A.R.S. § 32-4403. The legislative committee of reference must study the written report and deliver its recommendations to the Speaker, the President, the Governor and, if appropriate, the regulatory entity before the third Friday in January following the year the report is submitted. Legislative committees of reference may hold hearings as necessary.
Insurance Mandate
An organization or individual advocating for a legislative proposal that would a mandate health coverage or offering of a health coverage by an insurer must file a report to JLAC by September 1 before the start of the legislative session for which the legislation is proposed. A.R.S. § 20-182 contains the factors for assessing impact and certification of the report. JLAC must assign the report to the appropriate COR and the COR must hold at least one public hearing and take testimony and deliver a report of its recommendations to JLAC, the Speaker, the President and the Director of the Department of Insurance.
