AI Summary

  • Amends Arizona's Private Property Rights Protection Act (A.R.S. § 12-1134) to require the state or political subdivisions to pay just compensation to property owners when land use laws enacted after property transfer reduce the property's fair market value.

  • Removes the exemption for land use laws required by federal law, making property owners eligible for compensation claims even when regulations stem from federal requirements.

  • Renumbers remaining exemptions (previously items 3-7 become items 3-6) for laws protecting public health/safety, addressing public nuisances, restricting sex offender housing and adult businesses, establishing utility locations, and those not directly regulating land.

  • Maintains existing procedural requirements including the 90-day deadline before owners can file suit, the three-year statute of limitations, and the burden on government to prove exemptions apply.

  • Requires approval by at least three-fourths of both chambers of the legislature to take effect, per Arizona Constitution Article IV, Part 1, Section 1.
