Summary — Arizona HB 2746 (Reference title: “abortion; providers; waiting period; ultrasound”)
- Purpose / intent:
- Revises multiple Arizona Revised Statutes related to abortion, health professional regulation, and related clinical practice rules. The bill’s reference title identifies core topics as abortion, providers, waiting periods, and ultrasound.
- Key provisions (as shown in the provided excerpt):
- Amends numerous statutes (including sections 32‑1606, 32‑2501, 32‑2531, 32‑2532, and multiple 36‑xxxx sections such as 36‑2151–36‑2162.01, 36‑2301, etc.).
- Repeals at least sections 36‑2160 and 36‑2301.02.
- Specifically amends the Nursing Board authority in A.R.S. §32‑1606 to clarify that the board may adopt rules about advanced practice nursing but “does not have authority to decide scope of practice relating to abortion as defined in section 36‑2151.”
- By cross-referencing many §36‑21xx and §36‑23xx provisions, the bill appears to (or intends to) modify definitions, provider qualifications, waiting‑period requirements, ultrasound rules, and other regulatory elements governing abortion care and abortion providers.
- Who/what is affected:
- Health care providers (nurses, nurse practitioners, certified nurse‑midwives and other licensed professionals) and regulatory boards in Arizona.
- Entities and individuals subject to the amended §§36‑xxxx (patients seeking abortion services may be affected by waiting period/ultrasound rule changes).
- Procedural/timeline aspects:
- Introduced Feb 12, 2025; read first time and referred to committee per the legislative actions listed. Many co‑sponsors were added through March–June 2025.
