Health facilities; licensure; complaints; investigations

This bill changes how Arizona's Department of Health Services handles licensing and investigations for healthcare facilities. It allows the department to deny new licenses or ownership changes if applicants or owners have a history of serious violations or actions that jeopardize patient safety. The bill also sets new rules for complaint investigations, requiring the department to notify facilities of the complaint's nature and generally limiting investigations to incidents within the last 12 months, with an exception for abuse allegations.
