HB 2798 Arizona House · 57th Legislature - First Regular Session

narcotic injection sites; zoning; prohibition

This bill's title mentions "narcotic injection sites," but the provided text only amends Arizona's general zoning regulations (Section 9-462.01) to cover standard land-use planning topics like building heights, historical districts, and age-restricted communities. The bill text contains no provisions related to narcotic injection sites, medical facilities, or public health policies. It appears to be a standard zoning amendment that was passed by the legislature (2025-05-06) but vetoed by the governor (2025-05-13). The title does not match the actual content of the bill text provided.
