AZ HB2158

Expands Arizona's statutory definition of "predatory animals" to include bears, cougars, and mountain lions alongside the existing list of foxes, skunks, coyotes, and bobcats.

Classifying these species as predatory animals affects their legal status under Arizona game and fish law, potentially altering hunting regulations and management approaches.

Bears and mountain lions are also currently classified as "big game" under the same statute, creating overlapping classifications for these species.

Amends section 17-101 of the Arizona Revised Statutes governing wildlife definitions used throughout the state's game and fish title.
