The proposed bill would amend the definition of "contiguous" in section 32-2101 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, which currently defines contiguous lots, parcels, or fractional interests as those sharing a common boundary or point, excluding those separated by certain barriers. The bill would add that lots, parcels, or fractional interests separated by a private road or street are considered contiguous, thereby expanding the definition.

Additionally, the bill clarifies that the definition excludes lots, parcels, or fractional interests separated by a public road, street, or highway that meets specific criteria, including being established, dedicated, and maintained by the state or federal government and used continuously by the public for at least five years. This change aims to refine the legal understanding of contiguous properties in relation to subdivision requirements.
