This bill proposes several updates to the current statutes regarding vacation rentals and short-term rentals in Arizona. It introduces new provisions allowing cities and counties to limit the number of such rentals based on population or by setting an overall cap. Additionally, it modifies existing requirements for owners to provide emergency contact information, specifying that this information must be submitted before renting and can incur civil penalties for non-compliance. The bill also clarifies the notification process for adjacent properties when a rental is offered for the first time, ensuring that owners provide necessary details, including permit numbers.

Furthermore, the bill makes several deletions and modifications to existing language. It replaces terms like "act" with "offense" in the context of felony convictions and updates the penalties for failing to apply for a local regulatory permit or license. The bill also consolidates the definition of "verified violation" to include findings related to specific subsections of the law. Overall, these changes aim to enhance regulation and accountability for vacation and short-term rentals while providing local governments with more authority to manage these properties.
