This bill proposes to amend current statutes by adding new sections to Title 9 and Title 11 of the Arizona Revised Statutes. Specifically, it would introduce Section 9-500.52, which grants residents and entities conducting business in a municipality the standing to challenge any emergency measure adopted by the municipality's governing body. Similarly, it would add Section 11-269.30, allowing residents and business entities in a county to challenge emergency measures enacted by the county's board of supervisors.

The bill defines an "emergency clause" as any provision that causes an ordinance to take effect immediately. This new language aims to enhance the ability of residents and businesses to contest emergency measures, thereby increasing accountability in local governance. The proposed changes would take effect on the general effective date if the bill becomes law.
