The proposed bill, HB2121, seeks to prohibit the sale, production, or offering of cell-cultured animal products for human or animal consumption in Arizona. It establishes civil penalties of up to $25,000 for violations and allows affected individuals or organizations to file civil actions for damages, including reasonable attorney fees and costs, with a cap on actual damages at $100,000. The bill defines "cell-cultured animal product" as any cultured animal tissue produced from in vitro animal cell cultures outside of the organism.

Additionally, the legislation emphasizes the importance of regulating cell-cultured animal products as a matter of statewide concern to protect public health and highlights the significance of the cattle ranching industry to Arizona's history, culture, and economy. It asserts that the production and sale of lab-grown animal products could negatively impact state trust land beneficiaries and the use of state trust lands for ranching, which supports public institutions. Overall, the bill aims to safeguard Arizona's agricultural heritage and economic interests.
