This bill proposes to amend current statutes by adding specific provisions that prohibit municipalities and counties from enacting ordinances, rules, or regulations that restrict or prohibit general construction activities during designated summertime hours. Specifically, it establishes that construction activities may occur between May 1 and October 15, from 5:00 A.M. to 7:00 P.M. on business days, and from 7:00 A.M. to 7:00 P.M. on Saturdays, provided that the work is conducted under a valid building permit. Additionally, it mandates that municipalities and counties must allow concrete to be poured at least one hour before the scheduled start of general construction activities.

The bill also includes an emergency clause, allowing it to take effect immediately upon the Governor's signature. This change aims to ensure that construction can proceed without local restrictions during the specified hours, thereby promoting construction activities during the summer months. The amendments will be incorporated into Title 9, Chapter 4, and Title 11, Chapter 2 of the Arizona Revised Statutes.
