The proposed bill, if enacted, would amend current statutes by adding a new section to Title 33 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, specifically section 33-1816.01. This new section would explicitly state that a planned community association cannot prohibit or limit household pets based on breed, size, or weight, rendering any existing provisions that do so unenforceable, regardless of when they were adopted.

Additionally, the bill allows associations to establish reasonable rules concerning pet behavior, provided these rules align with federal, state, and local laws. This change aims to protect pet ownership rights within planned communities while still permitting associations to maintain some level of oversight regarding pet conduct.
