This bill proposes to amend Arizona Revised Statutes section 17-308 by removing a specific condition that currently makes it unlawful for a person to camp within one-fourth mile of a natural water hole or man-made watering facility. Under current law, camping is prohibited if it denies wildlife or domestic stock access to the only reasonably available water. The bill would eliminate the phrase "to the only reasonably available water," thereby allowing for more flexibility in camping locations near these water sources.

If enacted, the bill would effectively update the statute by striking the restrictive language that limits camping based on the availability of water access for wildlife and domestic stock. This change aims to simplify the regulations surrounding camping near water sources, potentially increasing access for campers while still maintaining some level of protection for wildlife.
