HB2381 is a bill that amends sections 48-262 and 48-853 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, relating to fire districts. The bill specifies that a noncontiguous county island fire district may expand its boundaries to include unincorporated parcels within a city's or town's municipal planning area only if the parcel is contiguous with the city's or town's boundaries or the existing district. This change allows for the expansion of fire district boundaries under certain conditions, which were not previously specified in the law.

The bill also makes technical and conforming changes, such as altering the word "permit" to "allow" and adding a comma for clarity in one of the sections. It clarifies that the requirement for proposed annexations to be contiguous with the district's existing boundary does not apply to fire districts formed pursuant to section 48-851. The bill becomes effective on the general effective date.
