Bill > HB2492

This bill prohibits cities, towns, counties, and the state itself from establishing, recognizing, or maintaining urban growth boundaries, regardless of how they are named, that prevent new development, restrict trade, or stop the extension of public services. Any law, rule, ordinance, or contract that does this is considered void and ineffective. The bill's findings section explains that this prohibition is intended to uphold the will of Arizona voters who have twice rejected measures that would have mandated urban growth boundaries, citing concerns that such boundaries in other states have led to reduced housing affordability and supply. The bill requires a three-fourths vote in each legislative house for these provisions to become effective.
