What changed in the latest version
244 added · 106 removedPlain-language change summary
In the latest version of Bill SB 1097, the focus has shifted from healthcare services under the Arizona health care cost containment system to regulations governing defensive driving schools and the Supreme Court's authority in overseeing them. Specifically, the amendments now allow the Supreme Court to contract with agencies for assistance in managing these schools and require it to publicly share the fees associated with court diversion programs. This change is significant because it ensures greater transparency in the costs of defensive driving courses and clarifies the court's role in regulating these services, potentially benefiting drivers seeking alternatives to traditional penalties.

K. J. All health and medical services provided under this article shall be provided in the geographic service area of the member, except:
