This bill proposes several updates to current Arizona statutes, primarily through the repeal and amendment of specific sections to correct previous legislative errors and ensure compliance with constitutional requirements. Notably, it repeals section 4-205.11, which was previously repealed but erroneously included in the title of a prior act. Additionally, it amends sections 13-2910.11, 36-2212, 42-5159, and 48-261 to incorporate amendments made by recent laws while repealing the conflicting versions from those laws. Furthermore, the bill makes specific changes to the language regarding animal cruelty violations, including removing certain subsections and adding new ones to clarify the conditions under which individuals may apply to restore their right to possess animals. It also updates the definitions and requirements related to property assessments in the context of district formation, specifically by adding references to real and personal property and clarifying the treatment of multiple ownership. The bill includes provisions for retroactive application of certain sections, ensuring that the updates take effect from specified dates in 2025.
