AN ACT amending section 11-812, arizona revised statutes; relating to county zoning.

AI Summary

This bill amends Arizona law to allow for the construction and operation of small modular reactors, which are smaller, factory-built nuclear reactors, by adding them as an exception to existing zoning restrictions. Specifically, it permits these reactors if the owner or operator has obtained an early site permit and design certification from a federal agency that regulates nuclear safety, and has provided evidence of these approvals, along with proof of completing the required public notice and comment period, to the county board of supervisors where the reactor will be located. The bill also makes minor technical changes to existing provisions regarding agricultural purposes and aggregate mining regulations.
