This bill proposes several updates to current statutes regarding public and private nuisances in Arizona. It introduces a new definition of "crime" to include the creation of excessive marijuana smoke and odor, which is presumed to endanger the safety or health of others. Additionally, it establishes that the creation of excessive marijuana smoke and odor is considered injurious to health, indecent, and a public nuisance that obstructs the comfortable enjoyment of life or property.

The bill also modifies existing definitions and language within the statutes. It replaces the current definitions of "Owner" and "Owner's managing agent" with new numbering while keeping the definitions intact. Furthermore, it clarifies that a person who knowingly maintains or commits a public nuisance is guilty of a class 2 misdemeanor, reinforcing the legal consequences for such actions. Overall, the bill aims to address the impact of marijuana-related nuisances while maintaining the structure of existing laws.
