Bill Summary

Public; private nuisance; marijuana smoke

AI Summary

This resolution amends Arizona law to address nuisances related to marijuana smoke and odor. It clarifies that excessive marijuana smoke and odor can be considered a "crime" for the purpose of abating nuisances on residential property, and it creates a presumption that such smoke and odor are injurious to health and offensive to the senses, thus constituting a public nuisance. This means that property owners can be held responsible if they know or should know about excessive marijuana smoke and odor emanating from their property and fail to take reasonable steps to stop it, potentially leading to legal action to abate the nuisance and costs being assessed against the owner.
