The proposed bill seeks to amend existing statutes regarding vacation rentals and short-term rentals in Arizona. It introduces new provisions that allow cities and counties to limit the number of such rentals based on population or by setting an overall cap. Additionally, it modifies the requirements for owners to provide emergency contact information, imposing civil penalties for non-compliance, and updates the conditions under which owners must obtain and maintain local regulatory permits or licenses. The bill also clarifies notification requirements for adjacent properties and mandates the display of permit or tax license numbers in advertisements.

Furthermore, the bill makes several deletions and modifications to existing language, such as changing "act" to "offense" in the context of felony convictions and refining the definition of verified violations. It also introduces new civil penalties for failing to apply for a local regulatory permit within a specified timeframe. Overall, the bill aims to enhance regulatory oversight and accountability for vacation and short-term rentals while providing local governments with more authority to manage these properties.
