This bill proposes several updates to current statutes regarding municipal and county zoning in Arizona. Notably, it introduces a prohibition against municipalities and counties adopting any ordinances, regulations, or overlay zoning districts that would permit the development of narcotics injection sites. Additionally, the bill clarifies definitions related to controlled substances, health care institutions, health care providers, and specifically defines "narcotics injection site" to include establishments that allow individuals to use unprescribed controlled substances, while excluding those solely for dispensing medication for drug therapy.

Furthermore, the bill modifies the definition of "overlay zoning district" to emphasize that it includes regulations that modify those in another zoning district. It also updates the numbering of definitions and removes outdated language regarding overlay zoning districts. Overall, the bill aims to enhance zoning regulations by addressing public health concerns related to narcotics and refining existing definitions to ensure clarity in the law.
