AZ HB2460

Prohibits Arizona municipalities and counties from penalizing businesses for theft of their movable property, including shopping carts and hand-held baskets taken or abandoned by third parties.

Bars local governments from imposing fines or fees on businesses for abandoned property found off-site, requiring businesses to pay for retrieval/storage/disposal, or mandating compliance with retrieval programs when noncompliance results from theft.

Allows local governments to notify businesses of property locations for voluntary retrieval, pursue penalties against actual thieves, and enact general nuisance ordinances that don't specifically penalize victimized businesses.

Establishes state preemption over regulation of business property theft, with the Attorney General or affected businesses able to sue to enjoin prohibited local ordinances and recover attorney fees if successful.

Officially titled the "Completely Asinine Rule Termination (CART) Act," declaring it state policy to protect businesses from regulations that penalize them for crimes committed against them.
