Maricopa county; new counties; division
SB 1434 proposes to redefine Maricopa County's boundaries in Arizona through detailed geographic descriptions, including specific survey points, rivers, and landmarks. It also creates two new counties - Hohokam County (with described boundaries) and Mogollon County (boundaries referenced but not fully detailed) - by dividing existing county areas. The bill primarily affects geographic jurisdiction within Maricopa, Pinal, and Gila counties, with no policy changes beyond boundary adjustments. This is a procedural boundary amendment, not a substantive policy bill, and remains in early legislative stages (Senate First Reading).
