This bill proposes to amend the Arizona Revised Statutes by adding a new section, 33-1816.01, which would specifically address regulations concerning household pets in planned communities. Under the new law, associations would be prohibited from imposing restrictions on pets based on breed, size, or weight, rendering any existing provisions that do so unenforceable, regardless of when they were enacted.

Additionally, while associations would retain the ability to establish rules regarding pet behavior, these rules must align with federal, state, and local laws. This change aims to enhance pet ownership rights within planned communities while ensuring that associations can still manage pet-related conduct in a reasonable manner.
