unlawful wildlife feeding; enforcement; penalty

HB 2224 prohibits intentionally feeding wildlife in Arizona counties with over 280,000 residents, except for hunters, wildlife management staff, farmers, or feeding squirrels/birds. In cities with over 100,000 people, violations carry a $1,000 fine instead of a minor penalty. The law targets human feeding that disrupts wildlife behavior or creates safety risks. It directly affects residents, businesses, and visitors in large urban counties and cities.
