This bill proposes amendments to section 9-461.15 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, specifically regarding the requirements for associations in municipal planning. Under the current law, municipalities cannot mandate that developers establish an association as part of subdivision regulations, and developers cannot be penalized for not including a planned community. The bill retains this provision while clarifying that municipalities may require associations solely for the maintenance of community-owned improvements, applicable only to planned communities established in plats recorded after July 24, 2014.

Additionally, the bill introduces a new provision stating that if a municipality does require an association, any regulations or restrictions adopted by that association cannot be more restrictive than existing municipal regulations. This new language aims to ensure consistency between municipal and association rules and applies only to associations formed after the bill's effective date. Overall, the bill updates the current statutes to provide clearer guidelines on the formation and regulation of associations in relation to municipal planning.
