The text continues the five named state entities until their listed termination dates. The entities are the Arizona State Board of Nursing, Board of Occupational Therapy Examiners, Arizona Regulatory Board of Physician Assistants, Department of Economic Security, and Arizona State Board of Pharmacy. The nursing, occupational therapy, physician assistant, and pharmacy boards are described as continuing to promote safe professional practice. The Department of Economic Security is described as continuing social, welfare, rehabilitation, employment, and developmental disability programs. The related statutes and the new termination sections are repealed after the listed termination dates. The nursing board, occupational therapy board, physician assistant board, and Department of Economic Security terminate on July 1, 2030. The pharmacy board terminates on July 1, 2032. Related repeals take effect on January 1, 2031, or January 1, 2033 for the pharmacy provisions.
