OPINION
THOMPSON, Judge.
¶ 1 In this appeal, we determine the constitutionality of Arizona Revised Statutes (A.R.S.) § 12-2602 (2000) under the equal protection and separation of powers clauses of the Arizona Constitution. Section 12-2602 outlines the circumstances that require plaintiffs to disclose preliminary expert opinion evidence for claims against licensed professionals. 1 We hold that A.R.S. § 12-2602 does not violate either equal protection or separation of powers. The trial court’s rulings are affirmed in all respects.
