The proposed bill, if enacted, would amend current statutes by adding a new section to Title 33, Chapter 16, Article 1 of the Arizona Revised Statutes. Specifically, it would insert a provision stating that a planned community association cannot prohibit or limit household pets based on breed, size, or weight, making any such prohibitions unenforceable regardless of when they were enacted. This change aims to protect pet ownership rights within planned communities.

Additionally, the bill allows associations to establish reasonable rules concerning pet behavior, provided these rules align with federal, state, and local laws. This insertion clarifies that while associations cannot restrict pet ownership based on physical characteristics, they still retain the authority to manage pet-related conduct within the community.
