HB2191 amends the Arizona Revised Statutes relating to criminal damage to property. The bill changes the definition of criminal damage to include recklessly physically obstructing a passageway in such a manner as to deprive livestock of access to the only reasonably available water, instead of the current language which specifies parking any vehicle for the same offense. Additionally, the bill simplifies the language regarding the monetary thresholds for various classifications of criminal damage by replacing written dollar amounts with numerical values (e.g., "ten thousand dollars" becomes "$10,000").

The bill also makes technical changes and will become effective on the general effective date. The proposed changes do not have an anticipated fiscal impact on the state General Fund.
