This bill proposes several updates to the current statutes regarding municipal planning in Arizona. It clarifies that the general plan and any amendments must be adopted or readopted in accordance with the specified article, replacing the term "such" with "the" for clarity. Additionally, it expands the list of entities with which municipalities must consult during the planning process by adding "or" before "range or Arizona national guard site," ensuring comprehensive coordination with relevant agencies and organizations.

Furthermore, the bill modifies the requirements for municipalities with populations between two thousand five hundred and ten thousand, allowing those with a growth rate below two percent to submit new general plans for voter ratification, provided their current plan was previously approved by voters. This change aims to streamline the process for smaller municipalities while maintaining public involvement in planning decisions. The bill also maintains existing provisions regarding public hearings, notice requirements, and the role of the attorney general in ensuring compliance with noise and accident potential zones related to military facilities.
