Bill > HB2197

This bill amends Arizona law to prohibit camping within three hundred yards of a natural water hole or man-made watering facility if that location could prevent domestic stock from accessing the water, classifying this as a class 2 misdemeanor. It also modifies existing law regarding unlawful camping near water sources, changing the prohibited distance from one-fourth mile to three hundred yards and clarifying that the prohibition applies if wildlife or domestic stock *could* be denied access, rather than *will* be denied access to the only reasonably available water. The context for these changes is to regulate camping in areas where water is essential for livestock and wildlife.
