HB2241 is a bill that amends Arizona Revised Statutes related to sexual offenses, specifically expanding the definition of bestiality. The bill includes possessing, distributing, transporting, exhibiting, selling, purchasing, or electronically transmitting any visual depiction where a real person is engaging in sexual activity with a real animal as a form of bestiality. The bill classifies such an offense as a class 1 misdemeanor.

The bill also defines "visual depiction" as a video or photograph on film or in a digital file format, explicitly excluding videos or photographs generated using artificial intelligence. It maintains that accepted veterinary medical practices by licensed professionals are not considered bestiality. The bill makes technical changes and removes the terms "receiving" and "electronically possessing or exchanging" from the actions that constitute a bestiality offense.
