If enacted, this bill would update the definition of a "political sign" in Arizona's statutes to include "flags" alongside "signs." Specifically, the current definition, which states that a political sign is a sign that attempts to influence the outcome of an election, would be amended to explicitly include flags as part of this definition. This change aims to clarify that both signs and flags can be used by residents of condominiums and planned communities to express political views.
Additionally, the bill would make technical changes to the existing statutes, including the removal of a specification regarding the relevance of candidates on the ballot to the definition of a political sign. The amendments would apply to sections 33-1261 and 33-1808 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, ensuring that the updated definition is consistent across relevant legal texts. Overall, the bill seeks to enhance the rights of residents in displaying political expressions on their properties.
