Bulletin Overview

No Smoking Signs

The State of Arizona prohibits smoking in all public places and workplaces and within 20 feet of an entrance to these facilities. The smoking ban also includes bars and restaurants. Exemptions to the state law include retail tobacco stores, private clubs, designated hotel/motel rooms, and Native American religious ceremonies. The Smoke Free Arizona Air Act became law on 5/1/2007 and requires posting of signs enforcing the law at various locations. (36-601.01)

Swimming Pool Signs

The Arizona Department of Environmental Quality and Department of Health Services stipulate the rules governing the use of public swimming pools and spas.

Concealed Weapon Signs

Arizona allows residents of the state to carry a concealed firearm (CCW) if they are at least 21 years old. There are certain places such as correctional facilities, polling places, schools, etc. where CCW is forbidden even with a permit. Arizona honors the CCW permits of all other states.

Cell Phone Signs

Arizona bans the use of all electronic wireless communication devices by school bus drivers unless used for emergency purposes. SB 1080 bans texting for minors during first six months of license, effective July 1, 2018.

Baby Surrender Signs

Since the first baby surrender (safe-haven) law was enacted in Texas in 1999, all U.S. states, as well as the District of Columbia, have passed safe-haven legislation. The laws allow an unharmed infant to be relinquished to the proper authorities.
