shooting range; closure; conditions
HB 2763 requires cities with over one million residents in Arizona to document and disclose properties within half a mile of state-owned shooting ranges. It mandates cities to record legal descriptions and notify property owners about potential noise and zoning restrictions. The bill also establishes strict procedures for closing state-owned shooting ranges, requiring approval from the Game and Fish Commission, public hearings, the capital review committee, the legislature via joint resolution, and the governor’s executive order. It specifically excludes archery areas, indoor facilities, National Guard sites, and pre-2002 facilities from the definition of "shooting range." This is a procedural bill focused on transparency and closure requirements for state-operated ranges.
