Proposal would require health licensing boards to disclose fund balances and cap reserves
Summary
Senate Bill 10‑37 would require health licensing boards to review fund balances publicly at least once per fiscal year, disclose fund balances before setting fees, and cap reserves at two years of operating expenses plus 5%.
Senate Bill 10‑37 would require each health licensing board in Arizona to review fund balances at least once per fiscal year in a public meeting and to disclose those fund balances before establishing any new licensing fee amounts for the next fiscal year. The measure also would prohibit a health board’s fund balance from exceeding two years of a health profession’s annual operating expenses plus 5 percent, according to the summary presented by Magali (presenter/staff member).
Magali summarized the bill to caucus members and said she was available to answer questions; no substantive caucus debate or formal vote on SB 10‑37 is recorded in the transcript of this meeting. The bill summary presented to the caucus also said the measure would dictate uniform language for any licensing authority in the state.
Why it matters: The measure would change budgeting and fee‑setting transparency for health licensing boards, impose a statutory cap on reserves and require public disclosure prior to fee decisions. That could affect how boards set licensing fees and manage reserves.
No presenters, municipal officials, or licensee representatives were recorded in the caucus discussion in favor or opposed to the bill in this transcript.
