Be it enacted by the Legislature of the State of Arizona:
Section 1. Section 49-765, Arizona Revised Statutes, is amended to read:
49-765. Local regulation of solid waste collection
Each county, city or town may establish regulations for private
collection of solid waste within its area of jurisdiction, including standards
for equipment, hours of operation, license fees and insurance requirements as
necessary and appropriate to operate a solid waste collection
program. Ordinances or regulations authorized by this section and
section 49‑704 shall be equal to or more stringent than the
provisions of this chapter and rules and regulations adopted by the
department under this chapter. If authorized by statute, each
county, city or town may provide for criminal and civil penalties for violation
of such ordinances or regulations provided that such penalties do not exceed
the penalties authorized by this chapter.
A county, city or town may not provide for or enforce a
CRIMINAL penalty against a person who refuses to purchase solid waste collection
services from a private service provider without regard to whether the county,
city or town has contracted with that private service provider.
