THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
Arizona Department of Health Services is developing a regulatory pathway to authorize EMS agencies so they can apply to a DEA program for use of controlled substances and agents. Leadership reported they are pursuing an exempt rulemaking with a short public comment period and aim to finalize the process by summer 2026. This is a policy and compliance build-out that may require legal, regulatory consulting and documentation support for EMS agencies preparing to comply once rules are in place.
Exempt rulemaking suggests accelerated schedule; once adopted, EMS agencies statewide will need implementation support around policies, training, and documentation.
