This bill proposes to amend the Arizona Revised Statutes by adding a new article, Article 12.1, which specifically addresses the regulation of cosmetic sales. It introduces definitions for terms such as "cosmetic," "cosmetic animal testing," "cosmetic ingredient," and "manufacturer," among others. The bill establishes that it is unlawful for manufacturers to sell cosmetics that have undergone animal testing during their development, with certain exceptions outlined for testing conducted outside the U.S. or required by federal regulations. Additionally, it clarifies that the regulation of cosmetics is a statewide concern, preempting local laws that may conflict with this article.

Furthermore, the bill stipulates civil penalties for manufacturers who violate these regulations, with fines starting at $1,000 for the first day of violation and $500 for each subsequent day. It also includes a severability clause, ensuring that if any provision is found invalid, the remaining provisions will still be enforceable. The act is set to take effect on December 31, 2026, allowing time for compliance with the new regulations.
