All Comments:

Gail Golec, Self: This Bill intention is good, so that it would make it basically impossible to mandate a vaccine.
However, | would add people may opt out for religious exemptions. Make that clear.; Ka'rin R., Self: NO CITIZEN
OF THE USA SHOULD BE MANDATED TO PUT “ANY” SUBSTANCE in them! Hippa Laws make my Medical Inform.
Private & to be VERY BLUNT-no one's business except myself & MY LORD/SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST. | receive ALL
Heath advice frm HIM (see 1stAmndment); LW Forster, Self: Please vote YES on this bill. My body, my choice
applies to EVERYTHING. FDA and Big Pharma are corrupt and in bed together. The People demand medical
freedom, and the idea of not having it is against the constitution.; jodi brackett, Self: We need this to pass!; Kym
Lynne, Self: Please support.; Sharon Noake, Self: It is absolutely imperative that persons have the right and know
the process to opt out of vaccines if that is their desire.; Valeri Marsh, Self: This bill increases safety measures.; Kim
Miller, Self: No citizen should be forced into medical decisions; Mary Evelyn Simpson, Self: YavGOP PC. | believe in
personal freedom to choose based on their personal beliefs especially in cases where a immunization has not
proven to have more benefits than risks; Peter Asencio, Self: | am a PC Captain, AZ State Commmitteeman. |
support this bill. WE the people have the freedom to choose what get put in our bodys. If people are sick they
should stay home and not be a spreader of germs.; Maria Lopez, Self: As a Precinct and State Committeeman, |
strongly support that we establish strict health and testing criteria that must be met to allow a vaccine to be
required.; Mary Jamsa, Self: This is a common sense bill and | support it.; Gisela Aaron, Self: Thank you for
providing exemptions for immunizations. In a free country, people should have choices for their own personal lives,
health and happiness.; deana corsa, Self: Wish we had this when the covid debacle occurred! PC Prescott; Michael
E Aaron, Self: Please protect us from tyrannical immunizations. Please allow for medical, ethical and religious
exemptions. Thanks.; Linda Sullivan, Self: ENOUGH of the Mandates...My Body My Choice!; Barbara Schwisow, Self:
need to have boundaries and scientific proof of safety and efficacy; Wendy Radimer, Self: | Support this bill.
Wendy Radimer Yavapai County PC; Paul Johnson, Self: | agree with this bill.. Arnold Paul Johnson, Yavapai County
PC; Marlene Leatherwood, Self: NO mandates for vaccines!; Alyce Tordsen, Self: As a retired school nurse. |
strongly oppose this bill. Immunizations are critical to school health. Before the chichen pox vaccine, children
suffered and missed many days of school. Complications from the disease were common.; Marina Cabanillas
Quintana, Self: This bill would put the collective well-being of all Arizonans at risk; Deborah Boehm, Self: Anyone
must be able to opt out of any immunization; Janie Hydrick, Self: Choice in vaccinations is not a decision that an
individual makes in a vacuum. It is a decision that will have consequences of illness or death for others.; Pat
VanMaanen, Self: This bill is not needed; AZ already has PBE in place to address parent wishes. Nurse says no;
vaccines save many lives and side effects are rare.; Henne Queisser, Self: Dangerous to public health.; Mary Ann
Graffagnino, Self: Nobody should be misgUided or fooled... VACCINES SAVE LIVES...millions are alive thanks to
vaccines.; Beatriz Urrea, Self: Vaccines save many lives and injuries are exceedingly rare; fewer than one ina
million vaccinated people suffer a serious side effect. This bill is uninformed and plain dangerous.; Claudia Bloom,
Self: | can't wait to get measles and polio because of this bill; Susan Heck, Self: Already in law. Not necessary;
Dianne Post, AZ NATIONAL ORGANIZATION FOR WOMEN (NOW), Self: This would make it impossible to have any
vaccine leading to many times the deaths from COVID when the next epidemic strikes - and it will.; Nelson Morgan,
Self: We're already facing public health threats from vaccine hesitancy. This would make the state sicker.; Connie
Cockrell, Self: Arizona is already headed in the wrong direction for public health; vaccine exemption rates are
becoming so high, experts say they’re “a disaster waiting to happen.” This bill would put the collective well-being
of all Arizonans at risk.; Linda Paul, Self: | remember the fear of polio and so many childhood diseases. Vaccines
are safe and save lives. People who choose not to vaccinate are putting others at harm and making schools a
dangerous place. Don't go back to kids being paralyzed with polio!; Angela Shopmeyer, Self: Arizona is already
headed in the wrong direction for public health; vaccine exemption rates are becoming so high, experts say they’re
“a disaster waiting to happen.” This bill would put the collective well-being of all Arizonans at risk.; Melissa Galarza,
Self: Vaccines save lives. This is proven fact. Science is real. This is a disaster waiting to happen.; Jacqueline deSa,
Self: This bill would put the collective well-being of all Arizonans at risk.; Angela Buer, Self: Vaccines save lives and
injuries are rare. Fewer than 1 in 1 million vaccinated people suffer severe side effects. AZ is heading in the wrong
direction for public health with their weak vaccination requirements. This bill puts our well-being at risk.; Jo Ann
Caruthers, Self: This anti vax stuff is dangerous.; Carol Campbell, Self: Just wait for an outbreak of diseases that
should be irradicated.; Jennifer Dawson, Self: Vaccines save many lives and injuries are exceedingly rare. Vaccine
exemption rates are becoming so high, experts say they’re “a disaster waiting to happen.” Hello, measles,
polio,mumps, diptheria, etc......; Joseph Bihms LD29, Self: Weakening vaccine requirements threatens public health.
Vaccines save lives, and exemptions for vague reasons erode herd immunity. Arizona’s high exemption rates
already pose risks; this bill worsens a growing public health crisis.; Gary Townsend, Self: Arizona is already headed
in the wrong direction for public health; vaccine exemption rates are becoming so high, experts say they’re “a
disaster waiting to happen.” This bill would put the collective well-being of all Arizonans at risk.; Joseph Alexander,
Self: A misguided attempt to ignore proven medical science that would put many more students at risk.; Eileen
Goldman, Self: Vaccines saves lives. This is practicing medicine without a license; Michael Levine, Self: This bill
would put the collective well-being of all Arizonans at risk.; Matthew Nelson, Self: Arizona is already headed in the
wrong direction for public health; vaccine exemption rates are becoming so high, and a disaster is waiting to
happen.; Kathy Pyner, Self: Those who refuse vaccines should be home schooled so they don't contaminate others.
Vaccines wwere not available when | was a child and I'm thankful no one has to have those diseases any more.;
Mary Nelson, Self: Sure, let’s create a public health crisis; James Scheid, Self: Vaccinations are crucial in preventing
the spread of vaccine preventable diseases, especially in school settings. This bill makes children and the public
less safe.; Lisa Maczura, Self: Trust the science folks. There are lots of Nanas and Grandpas out there that need
protection from ill-considered decisions of the anti-vaxxers.; Kathleen Dubbs, Self: | guess Lisa Fink is too young to
remember polio. | am not. This is a disaster waiting to happen; Penny Boone, Self: NO. This bill would put the
collective well-being of all Arizonans at risk. Vaccines saves lives.; Anne Leota Hart, Self: We in Arizona are already
a disaster waiting to happen concerning public health. | want the legislature to prove why this is a good idea.;
Rebecca Haynes, Self: Arizona is already headed in the wrong direction for public health; vaccine exemption rates
are becoming so high, experts say they’re “a disaster waiting to happen.” This bill would put the collective well-
being of all Arizonans at risk.; Roxanna Kearns, Self: Vaccine exemption rates are becoming so high, experts say
they’re “a disaster waiting to happen.” This bill would put the collective well-being of all Arizonans at risk.; Mary
Gaudio, Self: AZ is already going in the wrong direction when it comes to vaccine rates. Fact: vaccines save lives!;
Margaret Tinsley, Self: No, Arizona's public health is already at risk due to vaccine exemptions. More will only
make matters worse. Please vote no.; Marilyn Murov, Self: | don’t understand this rebuttal of scientific evidence.
This puts public health at risk. Do we really want to see the return of measles, mumps, polio. Think of the
monetary and societal cost of having all these diseases spread. Remember Covid?; Marcia Tingley, Self: Weakening
state vaccination requirements more and allowing more exemptions puts the collective well-being of all Arizonans
at risk.; Janie Smieszek, Self: If the exemptions to avoid vaccines increases, the Arizonans at risk.; Lois Hansen, Self:
Vaccines save many lives and injuries are exceedingly rare; fewer than one in a million vaccinated people suffer a
serious side effect. Arizona is already headed in the wrong direction for public health;; Susan Morris, Self: No more
exemptions from vaccines.; Martha O'Connor, Self: This bill’s imprecise, unqualified language (Pivotal, long term,
proven) would allow more people to opt out of currently mandated vaccines. This would make it impossible to
deal with an epidemic of a new threat.; Deborah Howard, Self: Vaccines and immunizations save lives. As a nation
we have establishe herd immunity to some life-threatening and dibilitating diseases. This bill would move Arizona
in the wrong direction.; Veronica Spear, Self: Government should not be able to mandate vaccinations of any sort.;
Catherine Gomez, Self: As an educator, I've seen the devastating effects from students who are not vaccinated.;
marcia stewart, Self: Facts , truth and science need to lead our healthcare.; Beth Ballmann, Self: Vaccines save
many lives. Vaccine exemption rates are already too high in AZ, leading to a risk of damaging the public safety of all
Arizonans.; Kathryn Dorn, Self: | am deeply grateful to have grown up free of the threat of polio, and measles, and
all of the other potentially deadly diseases for which we now have vaccines. | want today's children to enjoy that
freedom, too. Stop fearmongering about vaccines!; Alice Patricia Price, Self: Ignores scientific data; Sherri Johnson,
Self: AZ is already seeing an increase in previously non-existence diseases like measles in the post Covid anti-vax
era. This would be extremely dangerous for all Arizonans.; Jan Perozeni Corbus, Self: Let Science dictate vaccines;
no our uneducated and fearful legislators.; Angela J. Miller, Self: This risks the health of all Arizonans. We already
have abysmal vaccination rates. Vaccines save lives.; Helen Jones, Self: Illnesses that have been eliminated by
vaccines are not reappearing and will have bad consequences. Some of us are immune compromised and resent
this cavalier attitude towards public health.; Kathleen Sauer, Self: Vaccines are scientifically sound and effective.
Do we want to return to the ear of measles and diphtheria?; Kelly Lake-Warnberg, Self: Science proves that
vaccines protect people. Only those with legitimate health reasons should be exempt.; Catherine Sigmon, Self: It is
sad to see our lawmakers disregarding reams of scientific evidence about the value of vaccinations. Public health
and the lives of our children are at stake.; Diane McQueen, Self: Vaccines saves lives.; Jillian Jones, Self: We don't
need our kids and schools to be sicker than they already are.; Melinda Sims, Self: Vaccines save lives. You can’t be
anti-abortion AND anti-vax.; Carol Garnett, Self: There are already vaccination requirements in place to protect
everyone. Low rates will result in more disease and death.; John Neville, Self: Do you really want another
pandemic?; Linda Reichert, Self: The health of our community depends on widespread vaccination to prevent the
spread of communicable diseases that harm the vulnerable.; Aaron Essif, Self: this could put the collective well-
being of all Arizonans at risk.; Margaret Cordovano, Self: We do not need this law. FDA only certifies vaccines if
safe & effective. Fewer than 1 ina million suffer serious side effects. Exemption rates already high. Would put
health of all Arizonans at risk.; will humble, AZ PUBLIC HEALTH ASSOCIATION: The Arizona Public Health
Association opposes this bill because the conditions placed on vaccine requirements go way beyond what FDA
requires for vaccine licensure. It essentially a bill to eliminate all school vaccine requirements.; Paula Redinger,
Self: This puts MY health at risk. Nope. AZ is bad enough.; Theresa Prichard, Self: This will put our children's health
at risk.; Maria Hidalgo, Self: NO ON THIS BILL. Republicans would gut Az’s already weak state vaccination
requirements, allows anyone to claim an exemption if the vaccine available does not meet a list of specific criteria.
Vaccines saves lives and injuries are exceedingly rare.; Cathy Arroyo, Self: This bill would make it easier for people
to opt out of mandatory vaccines. Citizens who cannot be vaccinated are at greater risk of death or disability from
exposure to infectious diseases when vaccinations are decreased by expanding exemptions.; Karen Brown, Self:
Immunizations protect us all from pandemic diseases. We do not need to further weaken our defenses through
exemptions from vaccinations.; Aaron Torrance, Self: Vaccines save many lives and injuries are exceedingly rare.
Arizona is already headed in the wrong direction for public health; vaccine exemption rates are becoming so high,
experts say they’re “a disaster waiting to happen.”; Pamela Chittenden, Self: Jeopardizes public health at large.
Vaccines save lives.; Kathleen Mitchell, Self: Actual facts dispute the uninformed reasoning behind this bill that will
only serve to undermine the health of Arizonans.; Jacquie Rose, Self: This threatens the health and welfare of
students and teachers in the classroom, and therefore the entire community. | have a family member who came
home from Korean in an iron long because the polio vaccine was not availalbe. Vaccines save lives.; Joseph Murray,
Self: This bill would put the collective well-being of all Arizonans at risk.; STACEY NORDWALL, Self:
Incomprehensible to think you're creating legislation that will allow the resurgence of diseases that had been
mostly eradicated here and regarding vaccines people have taken for 50+ years.; Barbara McGill, Self: Vaccines are
very important to protect everyone's health.; Anna Makin, Self: Vaccines have saved lots of lives; anti-vaxxers
endanger themselves and the lives of others. Stick with science and stats, not speculation!; James Washington The
Arizona Partnership for Immunization, Self: Arizona law already allows parents to obtain an exemption from any
required vaccine for personal belief reasons. Employers have the ability to enact policies for employees to claim
exemptions if they deem it safe to do so. Safety monitoring is robust; Vincent Pawlowski, Self: | speak as an HPV
throat cancer survivor. Vaccinations save lives. Conspiracy theories like this kill children. This legislation is
unnecessary. Arizona law already allows parents to obtain an exemption from any required vaccine. Vaccines are
safel; Jillian Ryan, Self: Arizona is already headed in the wrong direction for public health; vaccine exemption rates
are becoming so high, experts say they’re “a disaster waiting to happen.” This bill would put the collective well-
being of all Arizonans at risk.; Jane Johnson, Self: Facts prove vaccines have stopped the spread of disease.
Vaccines save lives.

First Regular Session

HB 2056: geoengineering; prohibition
Sponsor: Representative Fink, LD 27
Committee on Regulatory Oversight

Overview
Prohibits intentionally manipulating the environment through weather modification, aerosol
injection, cloud seeding or solar radiation modification.

History
Title 45, Chapter 9 (Weather Control and Cloud Modification) prohibits any person or public

or private corporation, other than the federal or state government or their agencies, from
conducting weather control or cloud modification operations or attempting to artificially
produce rainfall without first obtaining a license from ADWR. An application for a license to
conduct such operations must include all the information required by statute such as relevant
names, addresses, scientific qualifications of all operating personnel and supervisors, areas
to be served and dates of operations and evaluations that will be submitted. An applicant
must pay a $100 fee to submit an application, which deposits into the Water Resources Fund.

Statute requires any person or corporation that seeks to manufacture, sell or lease, or offers
to sell or lease any equipment or supplies for weather control or cloud modification, to first
obtain a license. The license application must contain similar information as the operations
application. The license fee is $10 and deposits into the Water Resources Fund.

Exceptions to the license requirements include the use and operation of equipment and
supplies for agricultural purposes used by the owner, lessee or licensee of real property.

Current law classifies as a class 8 misdemeanor any violation of failing to obtain a proper
license, knowingly making a false statement to obtain a license, knowingly failing to file the
necessary evaluations or reports, continuing to operate after revocation of a license or
violating any other provision of this law.

Provisions
1. Repeals and replaces existing statutes that prohibit a person or business from conducting
any weather control or cloud modifications. (Sec. 2)

2. Stipulates that, regardless of any other law, a person cannot engage in geoengineering,
which is a defined term. (Sec. 3)

8. Defines geoengineering as the intentional manipulation of the environment by polluting
the earth's atmosphere or surface through weather modification, aerosol injection, cloud
seeding or solar radiation modification. (Sec. 3)

HB 2055: immunizations; requirements; exemption
Sponsor: Representative Fink, LD 27
Committee on Regulatory Oversight

Overview

Allows a person to claim an exemption for any immunization required as a condition of
employment, school attendance or obtaining a license if there is not an available vaccine that
meets outlined requirements.

History
The Arizona Department of Health Services (DHS) Director must adopt rules prescribing: 1)

required immunizations to attend school; 2) the means of immunization; 3) any indicated
reinforcing immunizations for diseases; and 4) the types of health agencies and health care
providers that may sign laboratory evidence of immunity. These prescribed rules are also
required to include the required dose, the optimum administration ages, the authorized
representatives to sign on behalf of a health agency and other provisions needed for
implementation (A.R.S. § 36-672).

A local health department must provide immunizations required for school attendance at no
cost to the pupil or pupil's parent, guardian or person in loco parentis. To receive
immunization reimbursements, the local health department may contract with a private
health care insurer or with the pupil's or parent's corresponding private health care insurer.
A pupil cannot be immunized without the informed consent of the parent, guardian or person
in loco parentis. A pupil who is at least 18 years old or is emancipated may consent to
immunizations (A.R.S. § 36-673).

Provisions

1. Enables a person who is required to receive an immunization as a condition of
employment, school attendance or the obtainment of any license, certification or degree,
to claim an exemption if there is not an available vaccine that fulfills all the following
requirements:

a) has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA);

b) has been evaluated for its long-term potential to cause cancer, impair fertility and
mutate genes;

c) the pivotal clinical trial the FDA used to approve the vaccine was a trial that compared
the vaccine to a control group that received a placebo or another approved vaccine that
was used as a placebo in the pivotal clinical trial;

d) any known injuries or diseases caused by the vaccine and the rate at which the injury
or disease occurs from the vaccine are posted by DHS on its website;

e) studies have been conducted that are necessary to determine any injury or disease
that the vaccine may cause when administered alone or with another state-mandated
vaccine;

f) the risk of permanent disability or death from the vaccine has been proven to be less
than that caused by the infection it is intended to prevent; and

g) the vaccine's manufacturer has liability for design defect claims for any injury caused
by the vaccine. (Sec. 2)

2. States that a person can claim the exemption for themselves, their child or a dependent.
(Sec. 2)

8. Prohibits DHS or any other state agency, board or commission from requiring a person to
meet any other condition or requirement to claim the exemption. (Sec. 2)

4. Makes conforming changes. (Sec. 1)

HB 2197: certificate of necessity; repeal
Sponsor: Representative Willoughby, LD 13
Committee on Regulatory Oversight

Overview
Repeals the statutes that require a person operating an ambulance transport service to
obtain a Certificate of Necessity (CON) to operate in Arizona.

History
The CON system was created to ensure that emergency transport services benefit the

population and are adequately distributed throughout rural Arizona. The CON system
regulates ground ambulance services and describes geographic service areas, including the
level of services (advanced or basic life support), hours of operations, response times,
effective/expiration dates and any special provisions for emergency medical services in the
geographic area.

CON laws are state regulations for authorizing major capital expenditures and projects for
certain health care facilities. In a state with a CON program, a health planning agency or
other entity must approve the creation of a new health care facility or the expansion of an
existing facility’s services. CON programs aim to control health care costs by restricting
duplicative services and determining whether new capital expenditures meet a community's
needs. Currently, 35 states and Washington, D.C., operate CON programs, with wide
variation by state. Arizona, Minnesota and Wisconsin do not officially operate a CON
program but have several approval processes that function similarly to CON programs.
NCSL. Certificate of Need State Laws.

Arizona enacted a form of CON legislation in 1983 and last modified CON laws in 2022, which
modified certain application and issuance procedures. The revisions became effective
January 1, 2024.

Arizona only has CON requirements for ground ambulances. The state requires an
application for ambulance services and ambulances to be filed with the Arizona Department
of Health Services (ADHS), Bureau of Emergency Medical Services & Trauma System
(Bureau). The Bureau is responsible for coordinating, establishing and administering a
statewide system of emergency medical services, trauma care and a trauma registry.

Provisions
1. Repeals the statutes pertaining to the CON process, procedures and requirements for a
person to operate an ambulance service in Arizona. (Sec. 1)

2. Instructs Legislative Council to prepare conforming legislation for next session. (Sec. 2)
