This bill proposes to amend Arizona Revised Statutes by adding a new section, 33-459, which addresses covenants or restrictions related to land designated for retail establishments selling fresh food for off-premises consumption, such as grocery stores and supermarkets. Under the new law, such covenants or restrictions would be deemed void and unenforceable unless specific conditions are met, including the seller's prior use of the land for a similar retail establishment, the identification and purchase of new land for relocation, and the new store's proximity and operational timeline relative to the discontinued site.

Additionally, the bill clarifies definitions for terms such as "discontinued site" and "relocated store," and specifies that the new provisions do not apply to agreements made before the effective date of the section. The act is designated as an emergency measure, allowing it to take effect immediately to ensure public peace, health, or safety.
