businesses; crime reporting; penalty; prohibition

This bill prohibits Arizona municipalities from fining businesses based on how often they request police or emergency services, or the value of property damage they report. It specifically bans penalties tied to the frequency of emergency calls or property loss claims. Municipalities may still impose fines if a business makes malicious, knowingly false, or frivolous requests after receiving written notice of prior violations. The law directly affects businesses that report incidents and local governments that enforce such penalties.
