HB2168

Public nuisance action; consent requirement

Chamber Passed·2/24/26

HB2168 amends Arizona law to require consent from local authorities for public nuisance actions.

HB2168 modifies the conditions under which public nuisance actions can be initiated in Arizona. It specifies that selling or disseminating obscene items within 2,000 feet of schools, parks, or residential areas constitutes a public nuisance. The bill also allows the attorney general, with consent from the board of supervisors, county attorney, or city attorney, to bring actions to abate and prevent such nuisances. This change aims to ensure local authorities are involved in public nuisance cases.
