This bill proposes to amend the definition of "predatory animals" in section 17-101 of the Arizona Revised Statutes. Currently, the definition includes foxes, skunks, coyotes, and bobcats. The bill would update this definition by adding bears, cougars, and mountain lions to the list of predatory animals, thereby expanding the scope of what is classified as a predatory animal under Arizona law.

The proposed changes would not affect any other existing language in the statute, as the current definition remains intact except for the additions. The bill aims to enhance the legal framework surrounding wildlife management and hunting regulations by recognizing these additional species as predatory animals, which may have implications for hunting licenses and regulations in Arizona.
